Various authors have published experimental results indicative of weak electromagnetic field bio-interaction. To date, these results have met with scepticism within the wider scientific community. In part, this scepticism arises because there is no agreed physical mechanism which explains how such weak-field effects could occur. The purpose of this project is to implement (in MATLAB) a hypothetical mechanism that has been proposed to explain weak electromagnetic field bio-interaction, and then to investigate (by MATLAB simulation) the performance of this mechanism. It is proposed that alterations in membrane calcium efflux be used as a biological marker of weak field effects. Such calcium efflux alterations are to be investigated for signals typical of those used for pulsed emf treatment of bone non-unions and for signals typical of those used in cell-phone systems.
