Abstract:
An arrangement for electrical charge equalization after generation of stimulation current pulse(s), containing a bridge circuit, switching elements, a bridge branch between two legs of the bridge circuit, into which a load resistance is introducible, and a power source for generating a stimulation current pulse, connected to the legs of the bridge circuit that enables an electrical current via one leg through the bridge branch and through a leg connected to the other end of the bridge branch with corresponding switch position. A capacitive element is in the bridge branch for generating a current for electrical charge equalization for current introduced by stimulation current pulse(s) and is configured such that, between one or more stimulation current pulses and a discharge of the capacitive element via stimulation electrode(s), a delay time window is maintained, which is used for measuring electrical physiological signals induced as a reaction to the stimulation current pulse(s).
