Bioelectromagnetism: Principles and Applications of Bioelectric and Biomagnetic

Description: Bioelectromagnetism by Jaakko Malmivuo, Robert Plonsey This book applies engineering science and technology to biological cells and tissues that are electrically conducting and/or excitable. It starts with a comprehensive development of the physical science fundamentals of electricity and magnetism and then proceeds with their application to electrophysiological preparations. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book provides a general view of bioelectromagnetism and describes it as an independent discipline. It begins with an historical account of the many innovations and innovators on whose work the field rests. This is accompanied by a discussion of both the theories and experiments which were contributed to the development of the field. The physiological origin of bioelectric and biomagnetic signal is discussed in detail. The sensitivity in a given measurementsituation, the energy distribution in stimulation with the same electrodes, and the measurement of impedance are related and described by the electrode lead field. It is shown that, based on thereciprocity theorem, these are identical and further, that these procedures apply equally well for biomagnetic considerations. The difference between corresponding bioelectric and biomagnetic methods is discussed. The book shows, that all subfields of bioelectromagnetism obey the same basic laws and they are closely tied together through the principle of reciprocity. Thus the book helps the reader to understand the properties of existing bioelectric and biomagnetic measurements and stimulationmethods and to design new systems. The book includes about 300 carefully drawn illustrations and 500 references. It can be used as a textbook for third or fourth year university students and as asource of reference. Author Biography Robert Plonsey is at Duke University.
