Title: A new method of brain stimulation at ultra-high frequency

Abstract: Nerve stimulation via micro-electrode implants is one of the neurostimulation approaches which is used frequently in the medical treatment of some brain disorders, neural prosthetics, brain-machine interfaces and also in the cyborg. In this method, the electrical stimulation signal can be categorized by the frequency band: low frequency, high frequency, and ultra-high frequency. The stimulation should be less destructive, more smooth, and controllable. In this article, we present a brief description of the mechanism underlying the ultra-high frequency stimulation. In the flowing, from an informatics perspective, we propose a state-of-the-art, low destructive, and highly efficient stimulation method at the low amplitude ultra-high frequency signal. In this method, we have tried to reduce the adaptation of the nerve system by modulating the stimulation signal via a low frequency rectangular random wave. By this method, we could reach the "almost zero discharge" with minimum destructive effect in the experimental test on the fish nervous system.
