The study of electrophysiology has progressed rapidly because of the precise, delicate, and ingenious experimental studies of many investigators. The field has also made great strides by unifying these experimental observations through mathematical descriptions based on electromagnetic field theory, electrochemistry, etc., which underlies these experiments. In turn, these quantitative materials provide an understanding of many electrophysiological applications through a relatively small number of fundamental ideas.
Bioelectricity: A Quantitative Approach, is the new edition of the classic introductory text to electrophysiology. It covers many topics that are central to the field including:
-
electrical properties of the cell membrane
-
action potentials
-
cable theory
-
electrical stimulation
-
extracellular waveforms
-
cardiac electrophysiology
-
function stimulation (FES)
Organized as a textbook for the student needing to acquire the core competencies, Bioelectricity: A Quantitative Approach will meet the demands of advanced undergraduate or graduate coursework in biomedical engineering and biophysics.
