Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: A cylindrical multielectrode system specifically designed for intraspinal microstimulation was mechanically and electrically evaluated in the ventral horn of the feline lumbo-sacral spinal cord. Electrode insertions proved to be straight as evaluated from radiographs. Impedances re measured in situ and force recruitment curves from quadriceps muscles re collected over a wide range of stimulus parameters. For a given charge, higher current amplitudes produced greater forces than proportionally longer pulse durations, indicating that charge is not the sole indicator of evoked force in applications utilizing electrical stimulation. Overlap measurements for calculating current-distance constants re collected at a variety of current amplitudes, electrode pair separations, and pair orientations in the spinal grey matter. Forces obtained in the majority of these trials demonstrated an order effect, presumably due to asymmetric neuronal connectivity within the spinal cord. In the cases showing no order effect, the dorso-ventral electrode pair orientation yielded a higher average current-distance constant (278 /spl mu/A/mm/sup 2/) than either the medio-lateral or rostro-caudal electrode pair orientations (197 /spl mu/A/mm/sup 2/). Specifications of an array of cylindrical multielectrodes for use in future intraspinal microstimulation prostheses re updated.
