In the last few years there has been an increasing interest in the magnetic activity due to bioelectrical currents flowing in the brain. In this paper preliminary results are reported concerning spontaneous magnetic brain activity in 36 patients affected by different kinds of brain disease; in most of these cases the symptoms were induced by localized pathology (atrophies, scars, tumors). Measurements were carried out with the simultaneous recording of the EEG. At present one of the most interesting features of magnetic detection seems to be its high localizing ability in cases of cortical foci, and sometimes its ability to show activities not evident in the EEG. These features seem to be very encouraging for the search for technical improvements, with the aim of making the magnetic technique a candidate for current diagnostic purposes.
