Galvanism experiments. Galvanism is the contraction of a muscle that is stimulated by an electric current. The effect was named after Luigi Galvani (September 9, 1737 - December 4, 1798), who investigated the effect of electricity on dissected animals in the 1780-90s. Giovanni Aldini (April 10, 1762 - January 17, 1834) was an Italian physicist and nephew of Galvani.
