Biomagnetic Stimulation
Biomagnetic Stimulation by S. Ueno, published by Springer US in April 1994, is a comprehensive examination of the advancements in magnetic stimulation techniques, particularly focusing on their applications in neuroscience and medical physics. This 136-page edition presents insights from the International Symposium on Biomagnetic Stimulation, which took place in July 1991 at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan. The book details the significant contributions made by researchers, including Dr. Anthony Barker’s pioneering work on magnetic stimulation of the human brain.
Readers will find a thorough exploration of various topics related to magnetic nerve stimulation, including its implications for clinical diagnostics and medical science. The discussions encompass not only the successful stimulation of brain tissues but also the potential risks associated with advanced MRI techniques and their effects on nerve tissues. Additionally, the symposium addressed the magnetic stimulation of the heart, providing a broad perspective on the intersection of biophysics, technology, and neurology. This edition serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the scientific and engineering aspects of biomagnetic stimulation.
Official synopsis Publisher
The International Symposium on Biomagnetic Stimulation was held on July 15, 1991 at the International Hall of the Hakozaki campus of Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan. It was a satellite symposium to the World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engi neering in Kyoto, which was held July 7-11, 1991. Successful magnetic stimulation of the human brain was first reported by Dr. Anthony Barker and his group at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, in May, 1985. Of course, magnetic nerve stimulation had been studied and reported before then, but Dr. of successful stimulation of the brain made a strong impact on the scientific Barker’s reports community. Since then, magnetic nerve stimulation has been widely and rapidly investigated by many groups throughout the world. This symposium focused mostly on magnetic brain stimulation. Magnetic resonance imaging has become an indispensable technique for clinical diagno sis and medical science. The most advanced MRI techniques, such as echo planar imaging, have the potential hazard of stimulating nerve tissues due to the rapid change of gradient mag netic fields. Potential risks of MRI, including problems with gradient magnetic fields, were discussed at the symposium. Magnetic stimulation of the heart was also discussed.
