Abstract(in English) In the study of biological effects of ELF electric field, we have found the possibility of the change in the human central nervous system. To clarify the mechanism of this effect, we have investigated the physiological change caused by the local exposure of strong electric field. The temporal changes in the skin temperature, the skin blood flow and the arm blood volume were measured when a part of the left arm was exposed to an electric field. It was found that the peripheral skin temperature increases in the field exposure. The corresponding changes were also seen in the blood flow and the blood volume. These increases disappeared when the body hair in the exposure area was removed. The temperature change was observed in the unexposed right hand, as well. This suggested that the effect of the field exposure is not limited in the exposed area, but that it was controlled by the central nervous system.
