Sažetak
The study deals with nerve response to a long train of repetitive, rectangular monophasic pulses. The threshold current for repetitive stimuli was calculated and compared to the threshold current for single pulse excitation having the same phase duration, as well as to the rheobase current, for a wide range of phase durations and repetition frequencies. The study was carried out using the SENN (Spatially Extended Nonlinear Node) nerve model. The results indicate that nerve excitation by repetitive monophasic stimuli can be efficient even for subthreshold high-frequency pulses. This result is potentially interesting for both medical application protocols and human exposure studies.
