Abstract
We measured the magnetic signature of epileptiform discharges with high signal-to-noise ratio, using microfabricated atomic magnetometers based on laser spectroscopy of rubidium vapor and similar in size to scalp EEG electrodes. Sensitivity to neuronal currents approached that of superconducting sensors without the need for cryogenic technology. These measurements are a promising step toward the goal of high-resolution noninvasive telemetry of epileptic events in humans with seizure disorders.Citation
