Abstract

An anatomical model simulator system includes an anatomical model assembly. The anatomical model assembly includes an anatomical model shell having a plurality of apertures defined therein; and a plurality of electrodes. Each electrode of the plurality of electrodes is disposed within one of the plurality of apertures, and each electrode includes at least one of carbon black and silver epoxy. The anatomical model simulator system also includes a model control system. The model control system includes a power supply configured to deliver electrical energy to the plurality of electrodes; and a controller configured to control the delivery of the electrical energy to the plurality of electrodes.
