- Increased emphasis on bioelectricity and potential clinical applications
- Two all new chapters dealing with electrical properties of passive and excitable tissue
- Expanded discussion of finite element modelling and a broad range of applications
- Provides a complete - all in one -reference source for a multidisciplinary, complex field
- Includes many additional figures and all improved, newly drawn illustrations throughout
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.
Of interest to 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.
