  • Abstract
    We examined the relative effectiveness of overdamped and of (truncated) underdamped magnetic field pulses in exciting frog sciatic nerve. Waveforms were compared by finding the stimulus magnitude (Vh) corresponding to half-maximal tension developed in gastroenemius muscle. Vh varied inversely with T0 the time to peak of the magnetic field
