Bioelectricity And Prosthetics: The Beginning And The Future?

Hey, so here we are with another exciting and phenomenal blog, this time for all you guys.So today I want to talk about a topic which is a continuous or blend of two disciplines which are Neural Biology and Mathematics.So I am not going to start taking Bio-electricity classes but instead inspire you all with the fundamentals of this discipline and to show you all the future in this area.Just a tip before starting the post, this post is not only for science nerds and for math students but everyone who always had a question about many phenomenal things that their body can do on stimulus and many more doubts. 
So without wasting any time lets understand the concept of bio-electricity through its history in the medical fields and at last understanding how can you choose bioelectricity as your career.
So,the history of bio-electricity dates back to 18th Century in Bologra, Italy.At that time Luigi Galvani was a well known physicist,physician and philospher.In the year 1771 while Galvani was disecting a frog with his assistant by mistake he touched the nerve of the dead frog with a metal scabel which had picked up a static charge so due to that charged body the leg of the frog moved which lead to the research of this "Life Electricity",named given by Galvani. Later on there was a rivalry between Galvani and Vota but when Sir Allessandro Vota created his first electric cell,he proved that Galvani was wrong.Now coming back to real life we see that bioelecticity can be defined as the connector and transmitor of the human body and I will explain you all how.
Now we all know that our human brain is the controller of our body but have you ever imagined how? 
We all know that when we walk,talk and eat and even when we sleep its all just because of our human brain but do you know that even when you think of doing this tasks at a second there are billions of electrical signals given through your mind which is beautiful yet highly complex realm of bio-electricity although I wouldn't be able to tell everything about bio-electricity in this limited period but I will try my best but if you want us to tell more about this topic do let us know in the comment section.

Now coming back to the billion signals revolving,lets boil it down and we will see the most fundamental part of our brain which does all the signalling and is called a Neuron.Many of you would have already heard this word but those who don't know it its basically the functional members of the brain which transmit electrical signal to each other and they are of different types.
The electricity which these neurons conduct and the electricity which stimulates us is called Bio-electricity.Although it was a long description before coming to this point but believe me it is too summarized. As we know that Bio-electricity is the study of neural electrical signal,so scientists have worked day and night and have been successful in decoding the neural signal and have made neural language according to that Electrical Engineers with Neurologists have made prosthetics which convert stimulous into data.We know that people around the world have been affected by brain diseases like Epilepsy,Parkinson's Disease and many more and so to make their life better medical prosthetics are important which makes them understandable to the world and even the war fighters uses prosthetics and connect it to roboarm to make motion.
It is quite common to say that where there is a need there are job opportunities and as this is a newly introduced discipline so it has a high job opportunities and if you love Electrochemistry and neurobiology then this is your destination.

Smoxy Generator

About Our Invention: The Smoxy generator is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction ,where the exhaust of vehicles or at a large scale - expelled gases from factories is drawn in the generator and this kinetic energy of the gases is used to rotate the dynamos which produces electric current. Also the exhaust contains sufficient amount of water vapors which we collect in a container, further the gas from the generator is expelled through a layer of activated charcoal which cleanse the air. Hence, it is a device to reduce pollution.Our team InTech participated in Innovation Festival held at Regional Science City,Lucknow from 29th to 31st January, 2020 with their model Smoxy Generator and they were awarded Consolation Prize in the contest with a cash prize of Rs.500 each. We really hope that one day our model will be used by the automobile companies at our country and around our world so that we could reduce the pollution level caused by vehicles.   Blog Writte...
