Abstract
The present invention relates to methods, software and systems for monitoring fluctuations in magnetic resonance signals. These methods may be used for measurements of the human brain and nervous system, and may be used for measuring electric currents and electromagnetic fields internal to an object. This method may include the use of a reference signal to accomplish differential recording of electromagnetic fields from two or more spatial locations.

A device to measure neuronal currents comprising:
- a means for reference MR signal amplification;
- a means for test MR signal amplification;
- and a means for determining the difference between the reference MR signal and the test MR signal.
A device comprising means for differentially measuring at least two MR signals.
A method for measuring a MR perturbation comprising the step of differentially measuring MR signals from at least two receivers from an object.
