Abstract
Acupuncture points and meridians have been shown to have distinct electrical characteristics. Acupuncture points have been found to have lower electrical impedance and acupuncture meridians represent low resistance pathways. The authors examined the spectral characteristics of a section of the large intestine acupuncture meridian in 10 healthy volunteers by inserting a broad-spectrum pulse at one point and detecting the output response further along the meridian. Analysis of the meridian transfer function revealed characteristic resonant frequencies that strongly coincide with the spectral components of Schumann resonances and the human EEG.
