1. A system comprising:
- (a) a plurality of non-resistive contact electric field sensors positioned at an entity, each of the plurality of non-resistive contact electric field sensors being positioned proximate a different particular generally predetermined location;
(b) one or more non-transitory computer readable media containing computer executable instructions executable by a computer processor for(i) repeatedly measuring, utilizing the plurality of non-resistive contact electric field sensors, an electrical potential associated with two or more sections of an electrically active structure of the entity;
(ii) accessing, from a database, data corresponding to past measurements of the electrically active structure taken utilizing non-resistive contact electric field sensors;
(iii) electronically determining, by comparing data obtained from the repeated measuring to the accessed data, a current property of the electrically active structure of the entity; and
(iv) generating, utilizing data obtained from the repeated measuring, a visualization of the electrically active structure of the entity of which the current property is determined, the visualization including a depiction of each of the two or more sections of the electrically active structure, together with a visualization of a typical state of the electrically active structure generated based on the accessed data.
