[Neuroscience] stimulation electrodes

[daniela spitz]

Hi,

I would like to know the difference between monopolar and bipolar
stimulating electrodes. I can imagine that the strength and actual area
being stimulated (in slices) could be changed with different sizes of
bipolar electrodes. But, to select between mono and bipolar electrodes is
bit puzzling for me. Anywhere I could get literature on this?

thanks
daniela

ps: sorry, if this question could be a basic thing for you, but for me, not.
