A novel sensor system is presented utilizing bending sensitive bilayers. The sensor system detects the contraction-dynamics of the upper femoral musculature during electric stimulation for diagnostics of muscle fibre recruitment and muscle twitch-dynamics in Functional Electro Stimulation.

In a previous paper1) it was shown that a slow potential similar to the so-called dendritic potential of the cerebral cortex occurs in reponse to direct electric stimulation of the carp's retina. Based on various experiments it was inferred that this potential originates in the retinal network intervening between the receptor cell layer and the ganglion cell layer. In the normal photoreceptive ...
