OPTIMAL LOCATION OF ACTION POTENTIAL GENERATION BASED ON ACTIVATION FUNCTION USING COMPUTATIONAL MODELLING

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is used to elevate health-related disorders. This technology now an important therapeutic system for medical science. In this system, the current pulse applied over skin through inner layers via electrodes activate excitable tissue layers. Activating other may cause discomfort. Thus, it vital design electrode configuration arrangements target anatomical without affecting neighboring ones. A device primary headaches showed mixed results. be related position that requires higher stimulus levels fibers. stimulate fibers which resulted in discomfort of patients. feasible solution identify optimal based on activation function second derivative electric potential along axon. guide estimate possibility action generation neural layer using a specified arrangement. study, multilayered human head was developed MRI data set pre and post-processing. Then multi-electrode were examine possible location. Results activated at same location trajectory anodal cathodal stimulation. proof can define activation. lead lower thresholds similar benefits transcutaneous with decreased power consumption.
