Abstract

Theoretical methods for identification of topological and functional parameters of biological tissues (e.g., myocardium) are considered. Unknown topological parameters include the network dimension and connectivity, while unknown functional parameters include the resistivity of the cellular membrane and cytoplasm. The cell size (length and diameter), the input resistance of the tissue, and the fundamental electric potential field formed by a “point” current source (intracellular microelectrode) are treated as experimentally known parameters.
