| Abstract | Virtual electrodes in neuromodulation can provide more delicate stimulation patterns with a limited number of physical electrodes in a confined area. Many researchers successfully verified the effectiveness of virtual electrodes in clinical trials, using current steering, which modulates electric fields produced by multi-polar stimulation. Still, it is questioned how these virtual electrodes are really generated in an electrolyte, especially in two dimensions. In order to answer this question, this work analyses the virtual electrode generation by comparing finite element analysis and in vitro evaluation of penta-polar stimulation. Penta-polar stimulation was realised using custom-designed integrated circuits and electrodes with an individual diameter of 450 μm and a centre-to-centre spacing of 800 μm. The customised test setup of electric field measurement estimated (i) the focused electric fields by the penta-polar stimulation and (ii) the optimum distance from the electrodes, at which virtual electrodes were most effectively generated. Compared with mono-polar stimulation, the penta-polar stimulation showed 0.594 and 0.545 times smaller electric field distribution areas, respectively, at a distance from the electrodes of 100 μm. Furthermore, the virtual electrodes showed the best performance at a distance from the electrodes of 150 μm, while the distance varied from 13 to 250 μm. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
