Abstract
The relation between stimulus transfer and the geometry of the neuron-electrode interface can not be determined properly using electrical equivalent circuits, since current that flows from the sealing gap through the neuronal membrane is difficult to model in these circuits. Therefore, finite element modeling is proposed as a tool for linking the electrical properties of the neuron-electrode interface to its geometry
