Bioelectromagnetism
Bioelectromagnetism is the study of the electrical and magnetic fields produced by living organisms. These fields arise from various biological processes, such as the activity of neurons in the brain and the contraction of muscles. Understanding these fields can help researchers explore how cells communicate and how the body functions.
The field of bioelectromagnetism has applications in medicine, particularly in diagnostic tools like electrocardiograms (ECGs) and electroencephalograms (EEGs). These tools measure the electrical activity of the heart and brain, respectively, providing valuable information for diagnosing conditions and monitoring health.
