Abstract:
Neurostimulation with multiple scalp electrodes has shown enhanced effects in recent studies. However, visualizations of stimulation-induced internal current distributions in brain is only possible through simulated current distributions obtained from computer model of human head. While magnetic resonance current density imaging (MRCDI) has a potential for direct in-vivo measurement of currents induced in brain with multi-electrode stimulation, existing MRCDI methods are only developed for two-electrode neurostimulation. A major bottleneck is the lack of a current switching device which is typically used to convert the DC current of neurostimulation devices into user-defined waveforms of positive and negative polarity with delays between them. In this work, we present a design of a four-electrode current switching device to enable simultaneous switching of current flowing through multiple scalp electrodes.
