SENN Model Evaluations

Abstract

The goal of this task is to determine which electrostimulation model is best suited for the study of human electromuscular incapacitation (HEMI) devices. To accomplish this goal, we perform a comparative review of broadly used electrostimulation models. Electrostimulation models are used to simulate nerve impulse generation under various forms of electrical stimulation. They can be used in conjunction with electromagnetic computational models to determine whether particular neurons are brought to an excited state given the electric field along the neuron as described by Reilly (2016). The determination of whether a neuron is excited given the electrical field that it is exposed to is based upon several interdependent factors such as membrane dynamics, fiber geometry, electrode configuration, myelin impedance and neuronal terminations. We examine these key properties across multiple electrostimulation model types to determine which one best suites the study of HEMI devices.
