Contents: The term biomagnetism is used for magnetic fields produced by electric currents in biological tissue. The investigation of human generated magnetic fields has clinical and scientific aspects as well. In this course the student must plan and perform recording of magnetic fields from the human heart or brain. Closely related to planning of the experiments, a suitable data analysis must be performed.
