Abstract

Electrodes (200, 300) designed in accordance with the present invention may selectively employ arc shaped contacts (312); variations in contact number, positioning, spacing, and/or distribution; variations in contact area, size, or periphery; and/or on-electrode conductive links or interconnections between (616, 618) particular contacts to provide enhanced efficiency neural stimulation, and/or increased electrode reliability.
