An electromagnet coil comprising Litz wire windings and power leads without break or interruption is cooled by a perfluorinated liquid by sensible and phase change heat transfer in a closed system. The electromagnet coil may be housed in a pentagonal or hexagonal pressure vessel to allow high packing densities in an array or helmet configuration. The helmet is then lowered over a human cranium for transcranial electromagnetic stimulation. The Litz wire windings reduce the power and voltages required for operation, yet allow production of over 2 T of accurately directed magnetic pulses for direct nerve or neuron stimulation. The perfluorinated liquid maintains the temperature of the helmet to less than 35-40° C., ensuring a comfortable temperature device for a human test subject. A utility cable connects the helmet to an external cooling unit and an external power supply.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals are detected in microtesla fields. Prepolarization in millitesla fields is followed by detection with an untuned dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. Because the sensitivity of the SQUID is frequency independent, both signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spectral resolution are enhanced by detecting the NMR signal in extremely low magnetic fields, where the NMR lines become very narrow even for grossly inhomogeneous measurement fields. Additional signal to noise benefits are obtained by use of a low noise polarization coil, comprising litz wire or superconducting materials. MRI in ultralow magnetic field is based on the NMR at ultralow fields. Gradient magnetic fields are applied, and images are constructed from the detected NMR signals.
