    • To provide a method for obtaining real and imaginary impedance components.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an on-line system integrating a minicomputer and dedicated hardware.
    • Application of a constant current drive to brain tissue.
    • Sampling of response current and voltage to calculate Fourier series coefficients.
    • Determination of real (resistance) and imaginary (capacitance) impedance components.

    Main Results:

    • A functional prototype system capable of operating from 2 Hz to 10 kHz was designed.
    • The system allows for the direct acquisition of Fourier series coefficients from tissue response.
    • Real and imaginary impedance components are calculated and printed for each frequency.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed on-line system offers an efficient method for brain tissue impedance measurement.
