Synopsis
We calculate the impact of peripheral nerve geometry (bend angle, radius of curvature, and axon diameter) and electric field characteristics (hot-spot amplitude and extent) on the chronaxie of nerve stimulation to better understand the variability in experimental chronaxie values seen with MRI gradient coils.
