Varying the time delay of an action potential elicited with a neural-electronic stimulator

There have been various theoretical and experimental studies presented in the literature that focus on interfacing neurons with discrete electronic devices such as transistors. It has also been demonstrated experimentally that neural-electronic devices can be used to elicit action potentials in a target neuron in close proximity to the neural-electronic stimulator. The time delay between stimulus and the onset of the neural action potential can be varied by varying the pulse amplitude and width generated by the neural-electronic stimulator (transistor).
