Because of their repeating patterns, fractal electrodes provide a large surface area that holds more electrical charge than
the Euclidean electrodes, said the study's lead author, William J. Watterson, a doctoral student of Taylor's.
«Operating under identical conditions in our simulations, we've shown that a single fractal electrode stimulates all of the target neurons, while
the Euclidean electrode connects with only 10 percent of them,» Watterson said.
