Encephalography clinic:
Radiographic examination of the brain in which some of the cerebrospinal fluid is replaced with air or another gas that acts as a contrasting medium.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the measurement of
electricalactivity produced by the brainas recorded from electrodesplaced on the scalp.
Just as the activity in a computer can be perceived on multiple different levels, from the activity of individual transistors to the function of applications, so can the electrical activity of the brain be described on relatively small to relatively large scales
 
Cardiography clinic:
Impedance cardiography (ICG), also referred to as thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) and electrical impedance plethysmography (EIP), has been researched since the 1940’s. With ICG, the placement of four dual disposable sensors on the neck and chest are used to transmit and detect electrical and impedance changes in the thorax, which are used to measure and calculate hemodynamic parameters.
Future Programs:
