Principles and Applications of Bioelectric and Biomagnetic Fields covers the application of engineering to electrically excitable biological cells and tissues. This study book by Jaakko Malmivuo provides an in-depth introduction to bioelectric and biomagnetic principles and their practical applications. It is intended for professionals and students in engineering and medical sciences.
The book begins with a thorough explanation of the physical basis of electricity and magnetism, and then goes on to address the application of this in electrophysiological systems. The similarities and differences between bioelectric and biomagnetic fields are clearly described using the lead field theory.
