Non-resistive contact electrical systems and methods for visualizing the structure and function of objects or systems

摘要

Methods and systems for sensing properties of an object or entity utilize non-resistive contact sensors alone or in combination with other sensors. The sensor data is utilized for detecting and visualizing properties of one or more biological or non-biological objects or entities.

1. A method comprising:
(a) positioning a plurality of non-resistive contact electric field sensors at an entity, each of the plurality of non-resistive contact electric field sensors being positioned proximate a different particular generally predetermined location; (b) repeatedly measuring, utilizing the plurality of non-resistive contact electric field sensors, an electrical potential associated with two or more sections of a structure of the entity; and (c) generating, utilizing data obtained from the repeated measuring, a visualization of the structure of the entity, the visualization including a depiction of each of the two or more sections of the structure, together with a visualization of a typical structure generated based on data associated with typical measurements of the structure for other entities.
