  • Analyzed the impact of stimulation/ground electrode impedances and tissue conductivity.
  • Evaluated focality using different electrode configurations and proposed a new surrounding ground surface design.

    • Main Results:

    • Confirmed current-controlled stimulation offers better control over potential field amplitude than voltage-controlled.
    • Demonstrated that a surrounding ground surface significantly improves stimulation focality.
    • Showed that lower ground surface impedance leads to more focal stimulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Proposed new boundary conditions for precise computational models of EES.
    • Introduced a novel MEA electrode configuration for enhanced spatial control in CNS microstimulation.
    • This configuration is readily adaptable for in vitro and in vivo MEA devices.
