    摘要: A magnetoencephalograph M1 includes: multiple pump-probe type optically pumped magnetometers 1A; a bias magnetic field forming coil 15 for applying a bias magnetic field in the same direction as a direction of pump light of each of the multiple pump-probe type optically pumped magnetometers 1A and in a direction approximately parallel to a scalp; a control device 5 that determines a current for the bias magnetic field forming coil and outputs a control signal corresponding to the determined current; and a coil power supply 6 that outputs a current to the bias magnetic field forming coil in response to the control signal output from the control device.
