Abstract
In order to extropolate 60-Hz electric-field effects on experimental animals (baboons) in terms of equivalent effects on man, scaling relations for the induced current densities have been developed by utilizing advanced computer-modeling techniques. Humans and baboons were modeled by a large number of small cubical blocks that were arranged to obtain the best possible fit to the contour of the object. Internal current densities for the models were calculated by the solution of an integral equation for the induced polarization at the center of each block.Keywords
