Abstract

The electrical characteristics of biologically active points (BAPs) compared with those of the surrounding human skins are studied. And we confirm that BAPs have lower resistance and higher capacitance than the surrounding skins do. We also find that BAPs have higher characteristic frequency than surrounding skins and the impedance spectra of BAPs sometimes have two semicircles on the complex impedance plane. We propose the skin impedance model that is proper to the BAPs and this circuit describes our experimental results sufficiently well.
