This book is one of the first to apply engineering
science and technology to biological cells and tissues that are electrically
conducting and excitable. It describes the theory and a wide range of
applications in both electric and magnetic fields. The similarities and
differences between bioelectricity and biomagnetism are described in detail
from the viewpoint of lead field theory. This book will enable readers to
understand the properties of existing bioelectric and biomagnetic measurements
and stimulation methods, and to design new systems. It includes carefully drawn
illustrations and 500 references, and can be used as a textbook and as a
reference.
