Galvanism

A scientist named Luigi Galvani studied static electricity. He discovered when you apply a spark to a dead frog the muscles twitch! Luigi described this as animal electricity, but it is also referred to as Galvanism.
Check out this cartoon representation from Wikipedia applying galvanism to a human:
This is a pretty similar idea to Frankenstein.
