Chicago, Illinois. An electrical machine to men- sure what goes on in human ner- ves when a person is excited, ir- ritable or under emotional stress - new ald to study of nervous troubles--was announced recently at the University of Chicago.

The apparatus, which is very sensitive, records the "action potential" or electrical charge in the nerves of living humans.

Its inventor ao far has studied only the ulnar nerve, which con- trois movements, of the hand. People in an advanced state of relaxation produce less than оncTM millionth of a volt in this nerve, he found, while persons in a state of excited action may generate as much as one-hundredth of a volt- 10,000 times as much.
