Answer

Luigi Galvani was an Italian physician and physicist who is best known for his experiments on frogs, which led to the discovery of bioelectricity. Galvani's experiments involved placing two different metals in contact with a frog's leg and then applying a spark to the metals. He found that this caused the frog's leg to twitch, which led him to believe that electricity was responsible for muscle contraction.
