Biomagnetism An Interdisciplinary Approach / by Samuel J. Williamson, Gian-Luca Romani, Lloyd Kaufman, Ivo Modena.

Biomagnetism is the study of magnetic fields that originate in biological systems. This is a relatively new discipline that has attracted considerable interest throughout the scientific commu- ty. The study of biomagnetic fields requires the use of techniques and concepts drawn from widely disparate...
