    Abstract
    Electrical stimulation of neural tissue involves the transfer of charge to tissue via electrodes. Safe charge transfer can be achieved using biphasic current pulses designed to reduce the generation of direct current (DC) or the production of electrochemical products. However, neural stimulators must also use capacitors in series with electrodes, or electrode shorting between current pulses, to further minimize DC due to electrode polarization.
