Watching cold fusion is like watching water boil in slow motion. First, sufficient deuterium has to penetrate the palladium electrode. This can take a few weeks. Then, if excess heat is generated during the next month or two, accurate temperature readings require extreme precautions to exclude environmental effects.

This is the pain pacemaker. I've got a battery under my skin. From that battery are two electrodes that go into the spine where they cut bone away to accommodate it. Now I put on the power here. If I have the pain, the stimulator starts. It's tingling, like when your foot falls asleep, you know?

Electrodes aren't the only things we may someday start implanting in our brains. Consider what you could do with a chip in your head that linked directly to the Internet: Within milliseconds, you could retrieve just about any piece of information.

I have had this view of the optimization of the electrode design for a long time. Historically we went through various phases in the work and eventually worked on large sheets - very large sheets - of palladium.

As actors, we're all encouraged to feel that each job is the last job. They plant some little electrode in your head at an early stage and you think, 'Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.

It must be born in mind that one does not see directly - as is the case in the exploration of the surface of the brain - where the electrodes are attacking.

The thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions can be determined from the measurements of the voltage between electrodes reversible to both ions.

It's no fun feeling your thoughts are being controlled by an electrode, and someone else is holding the clicker.

American Scientist

An electrode is a crucial part of an electrical circuit.

Circuit Element

Electrodes are found on batteries, labeled as '+' (positive) and '-' (negative).

Battery Terminals

Use 'electrode' when referring to points where wires connect in electrical devices.

Connection Point

In a medical context, an electrode might monitor or provide treatment.

Medical Equipment

Electrodes can be used therapeutically, for example, in pain relief.

Therapy Component

Electrodes in medical use can also record activity, like in brain wave tests.

Sensory Role

Electrodes in labs can measure, induce, or alter reactions.

Scientific Instrument

Electrodes can be part of an experiment's setup to prove a hypothesis.

Experimental Use

Different materials are used for electrodes depending on the experiment.

 it can still run for a while, showing that just the lower part, spinal cord and body, already solve a big part of locomotion. Now, understanding how this works is very complex, because first of all, recording activity in the spinal cord is very difficult. It's much easier to implant electrodes in the motor cortex than in the spinal cord, because it's protected by the vertebrae.

 Greg All right, Sam, I'm going to record from your brain. Have you had this before? I need you to stick out your arm for science, roll up your sleeve a bit, So what I'm going to do, I'm putting electrodes on your arm, and you're probably wondering, I just said I'm going to record from your brain, what am I doing with your arm?

 So, this is the basis of the device that we've created. Not only recording from one cell, but taking the pattern of many, many neurons and trying to relate what the person is thinking about to what something in the real world will do. And this is the set-up that we have. The person has this electrode array

 Unfortunately, it’s hard to determine exactly where any particular pattern originates. Electrical signals are generated constantly all over the brain and they interact with each other to produce complex patterns. Using more electrodes or sophisticated data-processing algorithms can help.

 We learned that we could accurately track sleep without hooking people up to electrodes and make people sleep deeper. We're continuing to develop the right sound environment and sleep habitat to improve people's sleep health.
