SQUID
(redirected from Superconducting quantum interference device)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
SQUID,
n.pr acronym for superconducting quantum interference device. A device used to record the brain's biomagnetic fields.

squid
large marine invertebrate with eight arms with suckers, and two supplementary tentacles, almost suckerless, used for catching prey. Are members of the family Teuthoidea and there are a number of genera including Loligo spp. with many species and Architeuthis spp. the giant squids.

Energy fields associated with the human body have been detected by electroencephalograms (EEG), electrocardiograms (ECG), and very highly sensitive devices such as superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID).
In this research paper, the scientists show that a magnetic field-pulsed microwave transmission line containing an array of superconducting quantum interference devices, or SQUIDs, not only reproduces physics analogous to that of a radiating black hole, but does so in a system where the high energy and quantum mechanical properties are well understood and can be directly controlled in the laboratory.
MEG is a non-invasive technique that provides detailed information on the brain in almost real time by using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors to measure the magnetic fields generated by currents flowing in and around neurons.
