Brain Seat
Of Electric
Currents
They Can Be Measured
BY Fine Apparatus
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. d

BY LOGAN CLENDENINC,M Nj. ID
ONE of the most fascinating
" studies of modern medical
research is the discovery that
the brain is the seat of con-
tinuous electric currents which
can be measured. and which
vary with different states of
consciousness.
We have known for a long
time that impulses along nerves
are electrical.
II is believed that there Is
a row of positive ions on the
outside of a nerve membrane
and a row of negative ions
on the inside.
When an impulse goes along
the nerve, no matter whether
initiated by electricity. or heat.
or cold, or volition of the will.
the galvanometer records de-
Elections which probably repre-
sent ions passing through the
membrane and neutralizing the
ions on the other side.
1t is like the burning of a
powder fuse. but unlike the
fuse, the nerve has the remark
able faculty of restoring itself,
replacing the ions, and in as
little time as .0001 of a second,
because IL will conduct another
impulse after that interval. ----
DRAIN waves can be measured
- by very delicate electric
recording instruments.
Small metal plates are at
tached TO the outside of the
scalp and are connected by
wires TO a powerful electric
amplifier.
The amplifier strengthens the
brain currents enough to make
them work a recording device
which writes the waves with a
pen on a moving sheet of paper.
To get such a record, the
electric brain waves must be
amplified 10 thousand billion
times, so the brain waves them

a soldiers grandmother.
Right now the illustrators
are much closer TO lhe
