Electric field stimulation

Electric field stimulation involves applying a controlled electric current or voltage to biological tissue to influence its activity. This technique uses electrical fields to activate or modulate nerve or muscle cells by influencing their electrical properties, often to restore function or study responses. For example, in medical treatments like deep brain stimulation or nerve repair, tiny electric impulses are delivered to targeted areas, helping alleviate symptoms or promote healing. Essentially, electric field stimulation leverages electrical signals to communicate or alter biological activity, enabling precise control over neural or muscular functions for therapeutic or research purposes.
