預修科目：Basic concept of electric- and magnetic- and/or biomedicine theory
內容綱要：（中文或英文）
The main topic of this course is biosystems with electromagnetic implications. Recently, scientists have found that practically all aspects of living organisms can be affected by electricity and magnetism. Thus, this course is designed specifically for Ph.D. students with biology or electrical engineering background. We will start from the basic concepts and characteristic behaviors of electromagnetic field theory with the spirit of the de-emphasis on mathematics. The topics explain and discuss the effect of electromagnetic field to living organisms is given in the remainder of the course. Detailed course topics are arranged as below:
1. Basic concept of bioelectromagnetics.
2. Introduction to electromagnetic fields
Electric field,
Magnetic field,
Maxwell’s equations,
Wave particle duality
3. Electromagnetic field generation and dosimetry
4. Electromagnetic fields encountered in daily environment
5. Electrical properties of biological substances
6. Electric- and magnetic-field interactions with materials
7. Electromagnetic behavior as a function of size and wavelength
When the wavelength is large compared with the object size
When the wavelength is about the same size as the object
When the wavelength is much smaller than the object
8. Image guided electromagnetic medicine
9. Examples of medical applications of electromagnetic fields
Basic principle of application for pain relief
Electromagnetic techniques in neural therapy
Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease and movement disorders
Energetic heart
