Abstract

The application of galvanic intra-body communication (IBC) to brain tissues opens new alternatives for the coupling of electromagnetic energy to target areas for brain stimulation and neuromodulation. The lack of knowledge about the electric field distribution under neural IBC stimulation can be alleviated with computational electromagnetic models. In this work, we perform a parametric study of relevant design parameters, such as frequency range or electrode configuration, which is supported by a simplified spherical model emulating human brain tissues. The objective is to obtain electric field and current density distributions as a function of frequency for different electrode configurations, allowing their comparison with other neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial direct-current stimulation.
