Paper presentation and submission
The conference will consist of oral presentations of fifteen minutes with few plenary sessions. All submitted papers will be peer reviewed. Accepted papers will be published as a collective work in an electronic format and will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore
Bioelectromagnetics, also known as bioelectromagnetism, is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological entities. Areas of study include electrical or electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms, including bioluminescent bacteria; for example, the cell membrane potential and the electric currents that flow in nerves and muscles, as a result of action potentials. Others include animal navigation utilizing the geomagnetic field; potential effects of man-made sources of electromagnetic fields like mobile phones; and developing new therapies to treat various conditions. The term can also refer to the ability of living cells, tissues, and organisms to produce electrical fields and the response of cells to electromagnetic fields.
Bioelectromagnetism is a discipline that examines the electric, electromagnetic, and magnetic phenomena which arise in biological tissues.
These phenomena include:
- The behavior of excitable tissue (the sources)
- The electric currents and potentials in the volume conductor
- The magnetic field at and beyond the body
- The response of excitable cells to electric and magnetic field stimulation
- The intrinsic electric and magnetic properties of the tissue
