Abstract

In this work, we have measured and analyzed the electrical impedance response of different types of tissue. The electrical characterization of human nerves, done on the skin, shows a lower resistance and a larger capacitance when the electrodes are disposed at the position above the nerve than in positions away from the nerve. The interpretation of these results was supported with measurements in exposed nerves and muscle of rats under anesthesia. The impedance measurements in the nerves and surrounding skin were carried out in vivo. The electrical capacitance and resistance, was obtained as a function of frequency in the range of 1 Hz to 1 Mhz.
