Team Venus-502

Howdy all...

Team Venus from section 502 just got done with another meeting. We have determined that specifically, we need to correct the resting membrane potential of the skeletal muscle cell. However, along with this task, we need to take several things into consideration:
1. The device needs to be able to measure the resting voltage on both sides of the membrane. This implies that the device needs to be able to span the membrane.
2. The device needs to "understand" that the potential is wrong, and needs to somehow correct it. (This is the bulk of the work)
3. The device needs to be able to sense when an action potential needs to travel down the cell, and adjust accordingly.

This is more than enough for us to work on, so we'll keep you "posted" so to speak on any updates.
