Description

ABSTRACT:
A patterned electrical tissue stimulator includes a current source and analog multiplexers connected to an array of electrodes attached to the body. Microprocessor control of the multiplexer and the current source provides automatic selection of electrode stimulation pairs whereby spatial patterns of electrical stimulation are produced. Temporal summation and temporal patterns of electrical stimulus are provided through microprocessor control of the current source.
