Giovanni Aldini

Picture
Giovanni Aldini, is a scientist, born in 1762, April 10th, Bologna, Italy.  His teacher was Sebastiano Canterzani.  He started as a Professor of Physics in 1798.  He is the brother of the Count Antonio Aldini, a statesman, and the nephew of Luigi Galvani, who made treaties on muscular electricity, which he edited with his notes.  Sebastiano Canterzani work was greatly concerned of galvanism, anatomy and its medical applications, and helped with construction and illumination of lighthouses.
3 Accomplishments
He first was able to make someone twitch by using electricity.  He used the electricity and put it in the brain of a recently dead person and make them look like they are twitching which they do.  (This was the only major accomplishment he has ever done)
