Abstract:
This invention provides an apparatus for electrically stimulating a cell and a method for using the same. In particular, the apparatus of the invention comprises an array of electrodes and a controller for actuating individual electrodes.

Claim (Index 5):
An apparatus for electrically stimulating a cell, said apparatus comprising:\n a plurality of electrodes; and a controller operatively connected to said plurality of electrodes, wherein said controller is configured to actuate:\n (i) a first electrode to produce a cell stimulating electric field having a duration of 20 \u03bcsec or less, wherein said first electrode comprises at least one of said plurality of electrodes; and \n (ii) a second electrode to produce a guiding electric field, wherein said second electrode comprises at least one other of said plurality of electrodes, \n wherein the presence of said guiding electric field increases the strength of said cell stimulating electric field relative to the strength of said cell stimulating electric field in the absence of said guiding electric field.
