K10: Biomedical Applications: Static, ELF and pulsed field applications (2)

Friday, August 22  13:40-15:40,  Room #10

Session Chairs: Shoogo Ueno, Frank Prato

Biological applications of static, ELF and pulsed electromagnetic fields have been widely studied for medicine and basic research. This session focuses on topics in recent advances in biomedical applications. The topics include TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), tissue engineering and regenerative medicine using electromagnetic fields and therapy by electromagnetic fields.
