title = "Forward modeling of uterine EMG and MMG contractions",
abstract = "We develop a forward model for uterine electromyogram (EMG) and magnetomyogram (MMG) contractions. Our model aims to describe the electrophysiological aspects of uterine contractions during pregnancy at both the cellular and organ levels. In particular, we apply a bidomain approach for modeling the propagation of the myometrium transmembrane potential on the uterus and use it to compute the action potential and magnetic field at the abdominal surface. We introduce a simplified geometry for the problem and solve our model in this domain using finite element method (FEM). Numerical examples are provided to illustrate our analytical results.",
