This research project will study quantitatively the response elicited           by a stimulating electrode on a representative nerve trunk.  The model          will include fiber caliber and distribution through the nerve trunk.            The goal is to achieve selective activation of only the target neurons          (either sensory or motor) with currents which are low enough to avoid           unacceptable electro-chemical processes at the electrodes.  Little is           presently known about how current from point or cuff electrodes                 distribute to individual neurons in a nerve bundle.  This information           is important in the design of electrodes for neural prostheses - an             area of great important to neurologically handicapped people.
