Abstract
The effect of nonlinearity in the extrafascicular field in tripolar electrode cuffs on interference pick-up was investigated, it was concluded that the interference is sensitive to electrode separation, especially in short cuffs, this suggests that significant improvements can be obtained by placing the end electrodes a few mm from the cuff ends.
