The International Symposium on Biological Effects of Magnetic and
Electrom- netic Fields was held from September 3-4, 1993 at Kyushu
University in Fukuoka . Japan . Originally, it was only intended to
be an informal gathering of many scientists who had accepted my
invitation to visit Kyushu University after the XXIVth General
Assembly of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI), held
in Kyoto prior to our symposium . However, since so many
distinguished scientists were able to come, it was decided that a
more formal symposium would be possible . It was a very productive
symposium and, as a result, many of the guests consented that it
would be a good idea to gather all the information put forth at the
meeting and have it published. In addition, although they were
unfortunately unable to attend the symposium . many other
distinguished scientists had also expressed their wish to
contribute to this effort and, in so doing. help to increase
understanding in this, as yet, relatively immature field of science
. The question of both positive and negative effects of magnetic
and electromagnetic fields on biological systems has become more
and more important in our world today as they .
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."
