<p>In this work, we present a simulation environment that makes it possible to determine threshold currents for magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation. Using the phrenic nerve as an example, we show that coil currents as low as 600 A are sufficient to trigger an action potential. These findings may help to advance research into artificial respiration using magnetic stimulation. </p>

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
