摘要: Scientific interest in the ability of organisms to generate electrical activity dates back late eighteenth century when an Italian physiologist, Luigi Galvani, discovered that frogs’ leg muscles were excitable tissues. It was not until mid-nineteenth century, however, scientists realized living tissue could be used as a sign its function, German physiologist Du Bois-Reymond demonstrated signal occurred concurrently with nerve impulses.
