Table 1. Conversion between the stimulation frequency and period.
r0 = (fstim/f0) ∙ 100 | 25% | 40% | 55% | 60% | 85% | 100% | 115% | 130% | 145% | 160% | 175% |
Ts[ms] | 64 | 40 | 29 | 23 | 19 | 16 | 14 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 |
rint = (fstim/fint) ∙ 100 | 22% | 35% | 48% | 61% | 74% | 88% | 100% | 117% | 127% | 140% | 156% |
In the first row, we show the ratio r0 (%) of the CR sequence frequency per ON-cycle (fstim) over the frequency of the reference stimulation frequency (f0 = 62.5 Hz, T0 = 16 ms) which is used for providing fstim –values which are distributed in an “approximately” equidistant grid on the frequency space: fstim ∈ [25%f0,…,175%f0]. Based on these values, we define the period Ts (second row) of the CR sequences. These are the two descriptions used broadly throughout the paper. In the last row, we show additionally − and only for comparison reasons − the corresponding ratios rint (%) of CR sequence frequency per ON-cycle (fstim) over the frequency of the intrinsic firing rate of the network frequency (fint ≈ 71.4 Hz, Tint ≈ 14ms) without any external stimulation.
