Description
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.
Audience
This book is essential reading for graduate and postgraduate students in biomedical engineering and biophysics. In addition, it is written
for researchers involved in the development of medical and electrochemical instrumentation, as well as clinical professionals in cardiology,
neurology, electrophysiology, cell physiology, and clinical chemistry.
