...TIME, April 19, a statement was made in the article, "Little Black Box," that a microvolt is one-thousandth of a volt...
...join the thousands of others who will inform you that a microvolt is one-millionth of a volt...
...patients from the Fairfield (Conn.) State Hospital by applying his electrodes to five* points on their bodies. He also studied 80 normal people. The difference between the amount of electricity produced by normal people and by schizophrenics was startling. Readings from the schizophrenics were very high, averaging around 65 microvolts (a microvolt is one-thousandth of a volt); normal people never sent the readings higher than about eleven microvolts. As the insane patients improved under treatment, their electrical readings fell closer & closer to normal. But if they stayed sick, their electrical marks stayed high...
...Yale faculty announced completion of an electric machine which does very much what Abrams claimed for his condemned Oscilloclast. Professor Harold Saxton Burr, upright Yale neuroanatomist, learned son of a professor in the Y. M. C. A. at Springfield, Mass, calls the Yale machine "a vacuum tube microvolt-meter for the measurement of bioelectric phenomena." In the current Yale Journal of Biology & Medicine he and his colleagues give precise instructions for building the diagnostic machine and the principles on which it operates, something which Albert Abrams never provided for his device...
...that the brain produced electricity. Comparison of figures seemed to indicate that electric current decreases as mental activity increases. Dr. Berger distinguished two types of waves, alpha and beta. The alpha waves represented the normal electricity output of an organism when not highly stimulated. The current generated was .2 microvolt. Beta waves represented the brain's electricity production when the subject was stroked by the glass rod, told to figure out an arithmetic problem. The galvanometer at this time registered .1 microvolt...
