Pulse amplitude distribution 1 corresponds to a ring mode stimulation configuration, whereas pulse amplitude distribution 7 corresponds to a single electrode activation configuration. The remaining pulse amplitude distributions involve two electrodes and will be referred to as fractionalizations. Pulse amplitude distributions 1 and 2 can be performed by means of coactivation in a single source system.
