Abstract

The complex impedance measurements of human brain tissue in vitro are made by using four-electrode measurement methods in the frequency range from 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz. The Solartron 1255 B frequency response analyzer is used. The frequency response curves of the imaginary part of human brain's complex impedance do not appear as a single peak curve which other bio-tissues show, and the Cole-Cole diagram of human brain is different from the others as well. The construction of the equivalent circuit model obtained is more complex. However, these characteristics of human brain are all the same as rabbit brain's. The equivalent circuit model obtained will be helpful to constructing the equivalent circuit model of human head in the EIT researches.
