Luigi Galvani and his wife Lucia demonstrating contractions of the muscles of the leg of a frog caused by electrical stimulation. The phenomenon was first noticed when his assistant touched an exposed nerve of the frog with a metal scalpel just as an electrostatic generator was emitting sparks. Galvani磗 wife and collaborator Lucia Galvani Galeazzi assisted her husband in his work. It is said that she first observed this phenomenon whilst he was in another room and alerted him to this strange occurrence.
