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.
