Bioelectromagnetic Interaction I

Course objectives

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING Understanding of methodological tools and fundamental topics of Bioelectromagnetism (interaction of fields with molecular structures, particularly with aqueous solutions and cells, techniques for calculating the EM field within exposed tissues, physiological reactions of biological systems to electromagnetic stimulation, rationale and basic concepts of international regulations for health protection), aspects that also form the basis for subsequent specialized courses in the same scientific-disciplinary sector. APPLICATIVE CAPABILITIES Through appropriate practical experiences, the ability to use multiphysics modeling software, particularly Sim4life-lite. Skills in developing bioelectromagnetic modeling in an interpretative key, in order to predict the main phenomena related to the use of electromagnetic fields on humans, organs, tissues, and cellular structures. JUDGMENT AUTONOMY Potential for critical analysis of the fundamental applicative aspects related to the use of electromagnetic fields in the presence of human subjects. COMMUNICATION SKILLS Acquisition of adequate knowledge for the dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge in the field of bioelectromagnetism. ABILITY TO LEARN Gradual achievement and extension of a knowledge level suitable for the formation of a professional figure in the sector of human protection from exposure to EM fields in complex environments.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of electromagnetic fields
Books
Lecturer's handouts and some reference review papers, all materials are available on th elearning site related to the course.
Frequency
Not Mandatory but recommended in particular for the exercises
Exam mode
TWO PARTS contributing equally to the final mark: 1) LOGBOOK of the LAB experiences 2) Two oral questions taken from the whole programme Overall, the exam test aims to assess the level that the student has achieved in acquiring the skills described in the training objectives, with particular reference to: a) understanding of the concepts transmitted during the lessons, not only from the theoretical point of view but also in reference to applicative problems; b) ability to learn and organize concepts; d) accuracy and precision in exposure.
Lesson mode
Teaching will be carried out by addressing the 4 main topics in a serial fashion, as far as possible each topic covered in theory will be followed by a practical or simulative laboratory exercise. Students will be provided with the ability to use on cloud an academic license of Sim4lite useful for the exercises. Various digital technologies for teaching will be integrated as far as possible
