Anisotropic conductivities that cannot be detected by EIT

Physiol Meas. 2003 May;24(2):413-9. doi: 10.1088/0967-3334/24/2/353.

Abstract

We construct anisotropic conductivities in dimension 3 that give rise to the same voltage and current measurements at the boundary of a body as a homogeneous isotropic conductivity. These conductivities are non-zero, but degenerate close to a surface inside the body.
