Female rats were trained to detect a vertical, 60-Hz electric field using the same apparatus and procedure we used previously to study behavioral detection of the field by male rats. Each rat was trained individually to press a lever in the presence of the field and not to press in its absence. Corr

## Abstract Two potential mechanisms in detection of a 60βHz electric field by albino rats were examined: fieldβinduced movement of the vibrissae and fieldβinduced vibration of the skin. Specifically, the experiment tested field detection in a moving stream of air designed to mask fieldβinduced mov
Chronic exposure of animals to 60-Hz electric fields is known to affect the nervous system in a variety of subtle ways. The mechanism whereby these effects are produced remains unknown. One hypothesis is that the effects are a result of direct interaction between neuronal membranes and induced curre
The influence of nearby ground planes, perturbation of surface charge distributions, and fringing fields on the electric field between parallel plates are characterized to define a parallel plate system that can be used to calibrate flat 60-Hz electric field probes.
