A research team led by PD Dr. Justus Marquet and from the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research at the University of Tübingen and the University of Stuttgart has developed two methods that allow muscle activity and training-induced adaptations to be measured completely contactlessly. The studies, published in the Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology and the Journal of Neural Engineering, demonstrate that magnetic fields generated during muscle activity can be captured using highly sensitive quantum sensors - without the need for electrodes or skin contact.
