Neural modelling of cortical tissue with a parallel alignment of the blood vessel and neural fibre to determine the (a) activation threshold required to stimulate the nerve and (b) CIC required to safely stimulate the nerve with increasing electrode-nerve distance. The maximum safe stimulation distance that could be achieved with platinum or platinum black coated electrodes based on measured CIC is marked.
