Abstract

Abstract Many biophysical effects of electromagnetic radiation are interpreted based on the induced voltage on cellular membranes. It is very instructive to study wideband frequency responses showing how an impinging electromagnetic wave carrying a certain time waveform translates into a time-dependent change in the cell-membrane potentials in any desired tissue. A direct numerical solution of this problem with realistic models for the body and cells results in meshcells of nanometer dimensions, which is unaffordable for almost any computing machine. In this paper, we exploit a multiscale method with serial frequency responses to arrive at the final frequency response for the induced transmembrane potential changes in cerebral cells induced by electromagnetic waves incident on the body. The results show a bandpass characteristic; a frequency window of approximately 10 kHz to 100 MHz as the most sensitive frequency band for neuronal membrane sensing of external electromagnetic fields.
