System Design of Neural Stimulators. Throughout the chapter, a comparison is made between the neural stimulator designs that are to be discussed in more detail in Chaps.?6 and?7. Both designs have been created with a different application in mind and this chapter discusses the consequences.

It then illustrates the technological challenges for the design of neural stimulator based on a case study of a spinal cord stimulator. Several of these challenges will be addressed in the subsequent chapters of which an overview is given

One of these mechanisms, the irreversible charge transfer processes at the electrode–tissue interface, is considered in the following two sections in more det

As discussed in Chap.?5 the stimulation waveform can benefit from the complex dynamics of the axon membrane in order to induce recruitment in a more efficient way. Fur

Switched-Mode High Frequency Stimulator Designt current stimulation. It uses the concept of switched-mode duty cycled stimulation as introduced in Chap.?4: a stimulation pulse is composed of a sequence of current pulses injected at a frequency of 1?MHz for which the duty cycle is used to control the stimulation intensity.
