Multigrid solution of the potential field in modeling electrical nerve stimulation.
In this paper, multilevel techniques are introduced as a fast numerical method to compute 3-D potential field in nerve stimulation configurations. It is shown that with these techniques the computing time is reduced significantly compared to conventional methods. ⋯ Subsequently, some essential elements for successful application are discussed. Finally, results are presented for the potential field in a nerve bundle induced by tripolar stimulation with a cuff electrode surrounding part of the nerve.
