Abstract
A first electrical signal and a second electrical signal are transmitted to one or more implanted leads including first and second electrodes, respectively. The first and second signals have a difference in frequency such that the combined potentials induce action potentials in a certain locus of electrically excitable tissue. Means are provided for adjusting the frequency difference, as well as the amplitudes of the signals so that the locus is altered.
