in Vivo Electrophysiology Techniques

In vivo electrophysiology is a set of techniques used to measure and study the electrical activity of living organisms. This activity is usually studied in the form of electrical signals from the heart (electrocardiogram), the brain (electroencephalogram) or the movements of muscles (electromyogram). By analyzing these signals, it is possible to obtain information about the functioning of organs and the coordination of various bodily functions. In vivo electrophysiology is most commonly used in research, diagnostics and therapy in the fields of neurology, cardiology, psychiatry and sports medicine. In addition, the data collected through these techniques can be used to develop medical devices, such as pacemakers.
