When the organ systems of the body are studied from an engineering point of view, electricity emerges as the essence of human life. In fact, life itself is now taken to exist only so long as the brain produces measurable electrical activity. It is not surprising, then, that medical practitioners have been fascinated by the effects of externally applied electricity since the beginning of medicine. New materials and increased understanding of their biological interface properties, both of the materials themselves and of living tissues in the presence of electrical current, now make it possible to influence minute natural electric currents in the body and to create substitute signals to reactivate lost functions or sensations.
