Giovanni Aldini

Giovanni Aldini (1762–1834) was an Italian scientist and philosopher known for his work in the fields of electricity and galvanism. He was the nephew of Luigi Galvani, whose experiments with frogs' legs led to the discovery of what is now known as galvanism, the process by which electric currents can cause muscular contractions. Aldini expanded on his uncle's work and became known for his experiments demonstrating that electrical currents could revive dead tissues and stimulate muscles.
