Abstract:
:A method is described to process and interpret multi-channel bioelectrical signals. The bioelectrical signals were recorded noninvasively over the body surface of human subjects at 120 sites. The body surface Laplacian maps were then constructed from the multi-channel bioelectrical potential measurement. The method was evaluated by means of computer simulations, and applied to imaging cardiac electrical activity. The present investigation suggests body surface Laplacian mapping provides an important means in interpreting bioelectrical signals.

杂志文章abstract::A compartmental model for the simulation of in-vivo insulin-like growth factor one (IGF-I) kinetics and metabolism is presented. The model is based on the concept that IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) act as a reservoir for IGF-I in plasma, thereby restricting its access to the extravascular space. The model is divided i...
