Electrical Stimulation and Electropathology

This book is the first to offer a cohesive treatment of the subject covering fundamental principles specific human responses and electrical safety. The book begins with a description of fundamental bioelectric principles. Subsequent chapters treat human reactions to electrical stimulation according to the nature of the response--sensory reactions cardiac reactions muscle reactions electric and magnetic field exposure and high-voltage and high-current injuries. The last chapter discusses standards and protective measures in consumer products.
