Abstract

Although the biomagnetic field is useful to observe an organic activity and the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is used to detect at the moment, there is a problem of needing a liquid helium in order to operate this SQUID. This research focuses attention on the ferromagnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device which is operable in a room temperature, and aims at the reduction of the elements for using this MTJ device as a biomagnetic field sensor and the reduction of the circuit system noise.
