BIOLOGICAL USES OF NONIONIZING RADIATION Annual Scientific Report (1962-63) on Contract No.Nonr-222(92)

摘要

Research in bioelectronics under Contract No. Npnr-222(92) was carried out during 1962-63 at the Electronics Research Laboratory in the following areas:Hall effect in water and ice, protonic semi conductors, and electromagnetic effects on the nervous system Both theoretical and experimental investigations were undertaken. Hall effect measurements by the Faraday-rotation method have proved to be unsatisfactory, but measurements by other methods are being pursued. Study of protonic semiconductor has led to the development of a rectifying-(diode) junction with interesting properties. The method of accurate and rapid dielectric-constant measurements developed during a previous contract period has been applied to measurements of changes in the electrical properties of nerves during transmission of action potentials.
