Abstract
Summary. Using a one‐channel neuromagnetometer adjusted to a special site on the mother's abdomen, we succeeded in recording prenatally, for the first time, human fetal brain activity in late pregnancy. It was possible to record both the fetal auditory‐evoked neuromagnetic field and to detect fetal brain activity by analysis of the frequency spectrum. Such measurements may soon prove valuable for the non‐invasive investigation of human brain function.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
