Electroconvulsive therapy

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

The technique of eliciting convulsions by applying an electric current through the brain of a human or an experimental animal for a brief period. Low current produces clonic (rapidly alternating muscle contraction and relaxation) convulsions, while high current produces tonic (steady muscle contraction) convulsions followed by clonic convulsions. Tonic convulsions cause loss of consciousness for […]

Electrodermal response

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

A transient change in certain electrical properties of the skin, associated with the sweat gland activity and elicited by any stimulus that evokes an arousal or orienting response. Originally termed the psychogalvanic reflex, this phenomenon became known as the galvanic skin response. Electrodermal response (EDR) has replaced galvanic skin response as the collective term.
The skin […]

Acoustic levitation

Sunday, September 10th, 2006

The use of intense acoustic waves to hold a body that is immersed in a fluid medium against the force of gravity without obvious mechanical support.
Levitation can occur in the presence of fluid flow, including the back-and-forth fluid flow produced by the passage of an acoustic wave. Such acoustically generated forces are extremely small in […]
