Electrodes

Mediums used between an electric conductor and the object to which the current is to be applied. In electrotherapy, electrodes are instruments with a point or surface from which to transmit electric current to the body of a patient or to another instrument; in electrodiagnosis, they are needles or metal plates used to stimulate or record the electrical activity of tissue.

Re: resistance

As I understand it, it's an art to pull your own electrodes--and get them to work, anyway. I think there are machines now that can make them somewhat automatically.

Polyacrylamide gel running

... Chloride ions are present in the buffer this effect is diminished. 2)The buffer is electrolysed at cathode and anode (remebmber the bubbles at the electrodes?) which changes the pH of the buffer. So never reuse the buffer in SDS-gel electrophoresis. If you don't trust your buffer ( or the one who ...

EEG

The electrodes they'll use will just detect electrical activity of your brain - it won't add any.

Electric shocks, anybody??

A lesser, but potentially hazardous effect might be the concentration of gasses and ions near the points of contact with the electrodes. These might result in blood clots or poisoning, and if in the wrong area of the body, could be serious. (all hypothetically, i'm no MD)

The Fiber Disease

... of contact printing and vapour growth to selectively deposit single crystals of organic molecules directly between the source and drain electrodes of transistors on both rigid and flexible substrates. Initially, films of hydrophobic organic molecules (octadecyltriethoxysilane) were patterned ...
