Angelo Mosso: Transmission and Measure of Physiological Signals

Mara Fausone, Marco Galloni

Abstract

Professor Angelo Mosso (1846-1910) was an Italian physiologist who worked in the University of Turin in the second half of XIX century. His researches were devoted to record and measure vital and mental processes. He invented many instruments and the signals were recorded on blackened paper on kymograph. A quite important aspect of Mosso's laboratory was the quality of the work done by technician Luigi Corino, which offered the possibility of the best utilization of the potentiality of the instruments. In the storage rooms of ASTUT we preserve many of these instruments with documents, pictures and original tracings.
