In vivo measurement of cortical impedance spectrum in monkeys: implications for signal propagation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the spatial summation of LFP and MUA is determined by the size of these signals' generators and the nature of neural events underlying them, rather than by biophysical properties of gray matter.

Dielectrophoresis of Cells

TL;DR: Several interesting side effect phenomena coincident with nonuniform electric field conditions were observed, including stirring (related to "jet" effects at localized electrode sites), discontinuous repulsions, and cellular rotation which was found to be frequency dependent.

XXXIII. The theory of electrolytic polarization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the following equations: C p designates the polarization capacity, R p the polarization resistance, and ψ the phase angle defined by tan ψ = C p ωR p (ω: angular frequency of alternating current), and V(x)dq represents the value of the counter-electromotive force x seconds after a quantity dq of electricity has passed through the electrolytic cell.
