Human Body Magnetic Field Measurement
The present scientific definition took form in the 1970s when an increasing number of researchers began to measure the magnetic fields produced by the human body.
Human body magnetic field measurement. This article describes the present status of research on biomagnetism an interdisciplinary field of research involving biology engineering medicine physics psychology and other areas. It interpenetrates the human physical body. The first valid measurement was actually made in 1963 but the field of research began to expand only after a low noise technique was developed in 1970. Besides the veritable energies of the biofield discussed thus far the human biofield may also consist of other putative energies as well more subtle than the energy fields presently known in physics.
Most measure the magnetic field from the brain called the magnetoencephalogram or meg. The human electromagnetic field is that part of the universal energy field that is associated with the human body. The biomagnetic fields of the body though extremely tiny have been measured with techniques including magnetoencephalography meg and magnetocardiography mcg. These techniques measure the magnetic fields produced by the electrical activity in the body.
Additionally measurements of the electric or magnetic fields or both directly from the human body especially from the acupuncture points have also been developed. Measurement of magnetic field produced from the human body abstract. A biological body signifi cantly perturbs an external electric field and the exposure also results in an electric charge on the body surface. As all electricity does this activity also creates a magnetic field.
The type of the exposure field electric vs. The meg shows complementary information to the electroencephalogram eeg and is producing valuable new information about the normal human brain.
