Synopsis

Bioelectricity (or bioelectromagnetism) relates to the study of biological electrical currents, and bioimpedance deals with the measurement of electrical conductivity. They are intimately linked to biomedical engineering, with major significance for development of novel medical devices, as well as the study of biological rhythms. This completely updated new edition remains the most comprehensive reference tool for this intricate, interdisciplinary field. The authors, both internationally recognized experts in the field, have thoroughly revised the entire text. It remains the only such work that discusses in detail dielectric and electrochemical aspects, as well as electrical engineering concepts of network theory. The highly effective, easy to follow organization has been retained, with new discussion of state-of-the-art advances in finite element analysis, endogenic sources, control theory, tissue electrical properties, and invasive measurements. There are two all new chapters on bioelectricity, along with an introduction to Geselowitz theory, the Maxwell basis of bioimpedance, and multivariate analysis as an alternative.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics is unique in providing all the information needed to follow the interdisciplinary subjects of bioelectricity and bioimpedance, without having to be a graduate student in all the relevant fields. For the first time, one book offers the broadest possible introduction to all use and effects of electrical fields in tissue, dealing with the most basic chemical and physical functions of life. Very few books have covered the dielectric and electrochemical side of the subject, despite its importance. This book does so, starting from the duality of the electrical properties of tissue. Grimnes and Martinsen have succeeded in bringing together the physical and medical approaches, and show how using models from both fields can elucidate the whole subject.
Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics:

* is one complete source and reference guide to a complex and disparate field
* gives the reader the latest research and applications
* is highly illustrated, with an indepth explanation of all mathematics

Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics will be essential reading for graduate and postgraduate students in biomedical engineering or biophysics. Scientific personnel in research institutes and industrial research departments (producing medical and electrochemical instrumentation) will find the book invaluable. Medical doctors in neurology, cardiology, dermatology, electrophysiology, cell physiology and clinical chemistry will also find this a complete reference tool.|Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics is unique in providing all the information needed to follow the interdisciplinary subjects of bioelectricity and bioimpedance, without having to be a graduate student in all the relevant fields.
