Needles, surface electrode, SQUIDS, etc hooked up to fancy electronic monitors needing expert interpretation of the signals is still exotic means in my book.
Yeah, but so what? Your 'we can use X-rays' comment to Josh has the same issue (meanwhile - 'poking into bones to test their density' for you and SQUIDS for me? Hmmm)

:shrugs:

More to the point: review the literature and you'll see that surface electrodes are (generally) used for this stuff - with good reason. Not fine needle etc. So 'invasive' is out.

My comment is - the 'how' and the 'why' are out there...if one were so inclined to adapt it to this purpose (testing IS specific adaptations).

Some may say 'yeah, that is one way to do it but here is a much better way' and out comes the round wheel and then only those from the preservation society prefer the square wheel 'just because that is the tradition'.

It really comes down to exactly what follows 'because ...' and not just because.
Sorry, I came into this thread pretty much at your comment re: testing. Maybe I missed the back story, so am not getting the disconnect

I'm presuming you get the logic of how CT is an augment to power and why developing the CT elements would be important?
