We originally had high hopes for the use of the clip-on toroids in the hospital, during surgery on peripheral nerves. That application may still develop, but it has not caught on so far. I guess the advantages of the toroids do not outweigh the ease of using simple extracellular electrodes (despite the fact that usually the electrode is raised out of the body fluids for the measurement). Probably inertia has something to do with it: doctors are familiar with extracellular electrodes but not with toroids, so if the advantages of the toroids are only slight, doctors are not inclined to change.Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077661160486900345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045015217135885587.post-18164067067763176942010-03-06T19:24:23.212-05:002010-03-06T19:24:23.212-05:00Dr. Roth,
