Electrically Induced Convulsions

Fibrinolysis following electrically induced convulsions.

The application in this hospital of alternating current for electro-convulsive therapy (E.C.T.) and electronarcbsis in certain mental disturhances afforded the opportunity of investigating the effects of this form of therapy on some of the components of the hlood. Schiitz (1942) ohserved in vitro a delayed coagulation of blood following application of a weak direct current. Brecht and Kummer (1...

The Treatment of Mental Disorders Ry Electrically Induced Convulsions

the majority of modern mental hospitals all over the world. In the mental hospitals of Ontario, 1,600 patients were given ' shock treatment ' during the years 1938-41, and the statistical report concludes, ' it is safe to assume that in consequence of the shock therapy work carried out during the years 1938-41, there were fewer patients on the books of the mental hospitals of Ontario during the...

Phase Boundaries as Electrically Induced Phosphenes

A model is presented of experiments where electrical stimulation of the eye of human subjects results in the perception of evenly spaced lines, or phosphenes. The model is a two-dimensional grid of integrate-and-fire oscillators that captures the important experimental characteristics of linecreation when a sinusoidal current injection is used. The spatio-temporal behavior of the lines, once fo...
