Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for optimizing electrode placement that directly exploits the thresholding phenomenon of neurons. The method employs a loss function which only becomes non-zero when the electric field is above a user-specified threshold in the cancel region, thereby allowing for fields which can have significant non-zero current in the cancel region, but still provide more focused neural activation.
