Abstract :
A new type of carbon electrode is introduced. The electrode consists of a bundle of carbon fibers, each fiber having a diameter of approximately 8 jim. In contrast to most electrodes, this electrode is flexible. The fabrication of the electrode is described, and a method is given to determine the apparent stimulating area.
