Abstract
There is disclosed a method of determining electrical properties in a peripheral nerve of a human or animal subject using a plurality of electrodes spaced around a perimeter of the nerve, by applying a probe electrical signal to each of a plurality of combinations of the electrodes, and using the resulting electrical responses to determine the electrical properties, for example by carrying out an electrical impedance tomography image reconstruction.
