Description

Audio brain magnetic measurement system of multichannel SERF atomic magnetometer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of brain magnetic measurement technology and medical diagnosis, in particular to an audio brain magnetic measurement system of a multichannel SERF atomic magnetometer.
Background
Compared with other brain functional area imaging technologies, the brain magnetic measurement technology has the greatest advantages that the brain magnetic has higher time and spatial resolution and can track the neural activity of the brain in real time. The magnetoencephalography is a completely non-invasive measurement process, which provides a new thought for the research of the brain field in modern medicine, and is widely applied to judging brain function injury at present, and the magnetoencephalography plays an important role in clinical medicine such as brain function positioning before craniocerebral operation. The magnetoencephalography signals are about one billion of geomagnetic field, and the measuring difficulty is extremely high, so that the magnetoencephalography requires extremely high sensitivity of a detector, and at present, a superconducting quantum interferometer (Superconducting quantuminterference devices, superconducting quantum interferometer) and a SERF atomic magnetometer (Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free, no Spin-exchange collision relaxation) are mainly arranged in an instrument capable of realizing magnetoencephalography.
SQUID magnetometers must function properly in ultra-low temperature environments, thus requiring liquid helium cooling. The necessary liquid helium brings huge manufacturing cost and maintenance cost, on the other hand, the liquid helium environment maintained by the Dewar bottle generally needs to occupy 2-4 cm of space, the magnetic field rapidly decays along with the increase of the distance, and the detection distance is not negligible in the extremely weak brain magnetic measurement. The atomic magnetometer can work at normal temperature, does not need liquid helium cooling, has sensitivity close to that of the SQUID magnetometer, is easy to miniaturize, and is the preference for replacing the SQUID magnetometer at present.
The brain excitation signals are intersected with other excitation signals, such as color, emotion and the like, so that the brain excitation signals generated by the brain are stimulated to generate magnetoencephalic differences, and the research on magnetoencephalic signals generated by the brain through audio excitation is relatively less, on one hand, the brain excitation signals are limited by a measuring instrument, and the sensitivity of the instrument cannot meet the requirements of measuring the magnetoencephalic signals through audio excitation; on the other hand, the brain magnetic signals generated by the excitation of the audio signals have no complete system design, and the measurement of the brain magnetic signals involves a plurality of key technical links such as stimulation, data acquisition of hardware equipment, processing and outputting of software signal algorithms, evaluation and comparison of results and the like.
At present, human brain research mainly includes methods such as electroencephalogram, nuclear magnetic resonance and the like, but most of the methods are not vector measurement, and many important information cannot be obtained. And the measurement of the magnetic field can be vector, and the measurement of the magnetoencephalography can obtain richer and more comprehensive information. Has important effects on the problems of human cognition brain, pathogenesis of serious brain diseases, focus determination and the like.
