Electro-convulsive "therapy" springs to mind. Effect: temporary
(hopefully) amnesia.
Then there's the inmate in the electric chair, in Florida a month
ago, whose head burst into flames when they poured the juice to him.
There are low level galvanic potentials between various locations in
the brain, characterized as alpha, beta, and theta waves in
electroencephalography. These impulses are used in biofeedback.
Certain disturbances in the characteristic patterns of these
potentials are associated with convulsive activity as in epilepsy.
But I don't think the precise significance of each of these impulses
is understood, yet.
I don't know if that's what Jane had in mind.
