In the brain there are different electrical stimuli between neurons that depend on the interaction with the environment (visual, auditory, sensory, etc.). Since the magnetic field produced by neurons can reach the surface of the head, explain the physical mechanism with which these magnetic signals could be detected and translated into an electrical signal to be quantified and analyzed later.
