Why are the Units for Extracted Scout Time series in pA.m and not fT?

I am sorry if this is a simple question. I have just now been introduced to the software and Iam trying to find my way around the tutorials. I presume that when I extract a time series from a ROI the reason the units are in pA. m’s is because it is measuring the the strength of the dipole moment/current?

Thanks!

The values you get with the minimum norm approach are densities of current on the cortex surface, as explained here:

Doubt about current density units: pA.m or pA/m2?
