Very low residual magnetic field and field gradients are essential for a number of high resolution fundamental physical experiments and for further improvement of very sensitive magnetic measurement devices. The scope ranges from spin precession experiments, e.g. with 3He or neutrons, to biomagnetic measurements, like magnetoencephalograms, and to low field MR spectroscopy. One method of reducing environmental magnetic noise is to use a magnetically shielded room (MSR). Here, measures are demonstrated to improve residual field and field gradient inside a common MSR by a factor of more than 10 by a specific degaussing procedure, material selection of prefabricated parts and active shielding. The process is independent of the shielding factor and works also properly for heavily shielded rooms.

A SQUID magnetometer system was developed for measuring sustained brain activity by magnetoencephalography (DC-MEG) and to record the free precession decay of protons (FPD) of the human brain at very low fields. The SQUID system has a white noise level of about 4 fT/√Hz. To generate the MR signal, two magnetic fields are used: a static polarisation field of a few mT and a static detection field of a few microtesla. To test the spectral resolution of the system, we measured the FPD of protons in distilled water having a spectral line width of about 156 mHz with an instrumental resolution of 2 mHz. The proton resonance line width of the human brain was found to be about 3.0 Hz. Using the same SQUID system we recorded a DC-MEG signal with an amplitude of about 1.5 pT upon motor stimulation. On the basis of these data, we discuss the possibility of detecting a shift of the resonance line due to the superposition of the neuromagnetic field generated by sustained brain activity.
