  • locating a probe in contact with the patient'"'"'s skin for measuring an electrical signal of a dermal area, wherein the probe comprises a distally disposed isolation hood and a probe tip configured to independently slide through the isolation hood;

    contacting, with the isolation hood of said probe, the first dermal area;

    actuating a motor and feedback loop to apply pressure to the probe tip independent of the pressure on the isolation hood against the skin; and
