Product 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.
* 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

 Probably not for clinicians March 9, 2007
Although the book is intended for persons in the biological sciences it is very unlikely to be of much help to those in medical and clinical practice hoping to understand better the applications and interpretation of bioimpedance.
 for an experimentalist in biology or physics May 22, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Instead of delving into research papers on this subject, the authors offer this book. It is a specialised and useful summary of what is known about bioelectricity. The circuits are simple, at least to an electric engineer. But then, she would be unlikely to know the biological aspects covered here.
The level of physics is also straightforward. Simple dieletric models and usages of Maxwell's Equations. Nothing to scare off the physics student.
Significant portions of the book are addressed to the experimenter. Giving help about instrumentation and designs. Plus descriptions of the types of data you are likely to get, and how to analyse these.
Well suited for an experimentalist in either biology or physics.
