The device placed under the skin to help manage seizures is called a "vagus nerve stimulator" (VNS). It works by delivering electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, which can help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in individuals with epilepsy. The device is typically implanted during a minor surgical procedure and can be adjusted externally by a healthcare provider.
TENS
A device placed in the body to deliver an electrical shock to the heart in response to a serious abnormal rhythm.
An electroencephalogram (EEG) measures electrical activity in the brain by detecting voltage fluctuations resulting from the synchronized activity of large groups of neurons. When neurons fire, they generate electrical signals, which can be picked up by electrodes placed on the scalp. The resulting EEG patterns reflect these electrical impulses, providing evidence that nerve impulses travel through neurons as electrical signals. This demonstrates the dynamic communication within neural networks and the brain's overall activity patterns.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the diagnostic tool used to record brainwave activity by measuring electrical impulses in the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp.
The first pacemaker, developed in 1958 by Dr. Paul Zoll, was a large, bulky device that resembled a suitcase. It used external electrodes placed on the patient's chest to deliver electrical impulses to stimulate the heart. The device was not implantable and required continuous power from an external source, making it quite cumbersome compared to modern pacemakers. Over time, pacemaker technology evolved significantly, leading to smaller, implantable devices that are now widely used.
Restoring the heart rhythm by using electrical shock is called defibrillation.
The task of an RF module is to transmit and receive radio signals across a number of frequencies. They are part of a small electrical circuit placed in a radio or similar device.
