Current conductors

Usage examples of electrodes.

I adjusted it so the electrodes pressed against my temples and ran back over the midline of my skull.

In the 1930s and 1940s research on one large mollusc, the squid, revealed that it had truly giant nerve axons, which could be dissected out individually and were big enough to insert electrodes into.

She hit the switch, letting a jagged blue energy line spring to life between the two electrodes on one end.

It was a technique associated especially with the Montreal neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield, and in its early period at least, in the 1950s, required that the site of the epileptic focus be identified by exposing the surface of the brain and then probing it with electrodes through which current could be passed so as to stimulate electrically the cells with which they came into contact.

Swiss amateur physiologist Hans Berger reported that by taping a set of recording electrodes to the human scalp he could record continuous bursts of electricity pulsing through the brain, he was at first not taken seriously.

Grinnell was angling: his electrodes had been lowered into the abyss, while Jackson waited impatiently with his camera.

Harker listened to the murmured instructions being passed back and forth over the table, watched the needles entering the flesh, the electrodes being clamped in place.

He surgically planted electrodes directly on the areas he wanted enhanced.

I think the men underwent surgery and electrodes were planted in specific parts of the brain.

I think it knocked him out long enough for someone to go into his cage and create a magnetic field of such high frequency the electrodes reacted.

The tiny, thorn-like electrodes pricked my scalp, and the straps felt cold and alien against my skin as Buddy tightened them.

He could see the gaunt Daniel crossing the space between them, holding a tangle of wires and electrodes in his hand.

Feeling the electrodes being fitted to his forehead and skull, Ray thought simply, Leonardo--help me.

Standing patiently in the observation area and watching Daniel attach the electrodes for this final assault, Qi received an urgent message.

The doctor produced a biological telemetry set from his bag and started connecting electrodes and sensors to Geis, the man on the bed.
