The finite element method can be used to compute the electromagnetic fields induced into the human body by environmental extremely low frequency fields. However, the electric properties of tissues are not precisely known and may vary depending on the individual, his/her age and other physiological parameters. We propose to account for some uncertainties on the conductivities of the brain tissues and to spread them out to the induced fields by means of a non-intrusive approach based on the chaos Hermite polynomial with the finite element method as a black box.
