Human response to short-term electrical exposure can be beneficial,
as in the application of electrical stimulation for medical
purposes, or pathological, as in unintended electric shock. 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. The author is a member of
the principal professional staff at the Johns Hopkins University
Applied Physics Laboratory. To supplement his own chapters, he has
invited specialists to contribute chapters in their fields of
expertise: Hermann Antoni, University of Freiburg, on electrical
properties of the heart; James Sweeney, University of Arizona, on
skeletal muscle responses; Michael Chilbert, Medical College of
Wisconsin, on high-voltage and high-current injuries; and Walter
Skuggevig, Underwriters Laboratories, on standards and protective
measures. Sifting through a vast body of engineering and biomedical
literature, Reilly has provided a unique reference that will
interest researchers, designers, and regulatory personnel.
