Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics

Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics, Fourth Edition discusses, in detail, dielectric and electrochemical aspects, as well as electrical engineering concepts of network theory. The book takes readers from an introductory (postgraduate) level to a developed understanding of core dielectric and electrochemical aspects of bioelectricity combined with the necessary electrical engineering concepts, such as network theory, to allow readers to work effectively across the interface of biology, physics and engineering. The book has a highly effective organization, and covers important concepts relating to bioelectricity and impedance, including finite element analysis, endogenic sources, control theory, tissue electrical properties, and invasive measurements. With its concentration on instrumentation and system design, data and analysis, the book is suited to readers with an applied focus on experimentation and device development. It paves an easier and more efficient way for readers seeking basic knowledge about this discipline. This book's focus is on systems with galvanic contact with tissue, and the importance of the geometry of the measuring system cannot be overemphasized. - Contains new pedagogical features that support learning and make this an ideal text for teaching - Includes more content on electrochemistry, cyclic voltammetry, amperometry, cell properties and machine learning - Covers tissue immittance building up from the basics in an accurate and easy to understand manner, supported with figures and examples, with Geometry and instrumentation also covered

?rjan G. Martinsen received his M.Sc. and PhD in electronic engineering from the Department of Physics at the University of Oslo, with both of his theses focusing on the electrical properties of human skin. Since completing his PhD in 1995, Martinsen has held a permanent position in the same department and currently leads the electronics research section and is Coordinator of the Oslo Bioimpedance Group. As well as his work at the university, Martinsen also holds a part time research position in the Department of Clinical and Biomedical Engineering at Oslo University Hospital, his main research interest being electrical bioimpedance. With Sverre Grimnes he is the founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Electrical Bioimpedance (www.bioimpedance.net).
