1793
Published in 1793, Richard Fowler's 'Experiments and Observations Relative to the Influence Lately Discovered by M. Galvani and Commonly Called Animal Electricity' explores the phenomenon of animal electricity inspired by Luigi Galvani's discoveries. The book details Fowler's experiments on the effects of electricity on living tissues, particularly how different metals can induce muscle contractions in frogs. This work is significant for its early contributions to electrophysiology and the understanding of the relationship between electricity and biological functions.
