description Accurate human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dielectric parameters are critical for biological electromagnetic applications such as the electromagnetic field modelling of the human brain, the localization and intensity assessment of electrical generators in the brain, and electromagnetic protection. To detect brain damage signals during temperature changes by electrical impedance tomography (EIT), the change in CSF dielectric parameters with frequency (10 Hz–100 MHz) and temperature (17–39 °C) was investigated. A Debye model was first established to capture the complex impedance frequency and temperature characteristics. Furthermore, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis based on the dielectric parameters of normal and diseased CSF was carried out to identify lesions. The Debye model’s characteristic <i>f</i><sub>c</sub> parameters linearly increased with increasing temperature (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.989), and <i>R</i><sub>0</sub> and <i>R</i><sub>1</sub> linearly decreased (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.990). The final established formula can calculate the complex impedivity of CSF with a maximum fitting error of 3.79%. Furthermore, the ROC based on the real part of impedivity at 10 Hz and 17 °C yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.898 with a specificity of 0.889 and a sensitivity of 0.944. These findings are expected to facilitate the application of electromagnetic technology, such as disease diagnosis, specific absorption rate calculation, and biosensor design.
