electrodes

Electrodes are conductive objects that serve as a connection point between an electronic device and a biological system, such as the human body. They allow electrical signals to flow in or out, enabling functions like monitoring or stimulating nerves and muscles. Typically made of metals or conductive materials, electrodes are used in medical diagnostics like ECGs, or in therapies like electrical stimulation. Their design ensures good contact with the skin or tissues, providing accurate signal transmission while minimizing discomfort or interference.
