FIGURE 3.
Schematic of the circuit implementation of the electrode-tissue interface. The non-Faradaic processes are modeled as 61 RC branches representing a constant phase element. After selection of the initial R and C values for the middle branch, the resistance and capacitance of all the other branches can be calculated using the m and k parameters. Rs is a spreading resistance that represents the contact between the interface and the bulk solution or tissue. Stimulus is provided by a grounded voltage source (Vin) and delivered, via the interface, to the tissue (Vout).
