Exposure systems for bioelectromagnetic experiments

Abstract

One of the most interesting questions in bioelectromagnetics is why there is a difference between results of experiments performed in various labs in “identical” conditions. One of the possible reasons is the difference of investigated objects, especially while performing experiments in vivo. However, the authors, as engineers, would like to focus readers’ attention on the technical aspects of exposure systems, especially the presence and role of mutual interaction between biological objects under test (OUT) and the exposure system, the interactions between the objects, the role of polarization, the similarity of real exposure to that applied in experiments etc. All these factors may alter the results of experiments and lead to false conclusions.
