I searched many papers and found different stimulation parameters and I am confused with terminology, when they say we used trains of so and so parameters Vs pulses of so and so parameters...
Thank you.
Hello Dr. Srinivasa,
Please try to understand that when we say a pulse or a series of electrical pulses, these are usually rectangular in shape. The usual pulse height is the amplitude of the voltage or current and then the value returns to normally zero (in unipolar mode) and may swing to + and - levels around (ZERO) in a bi-polar mode..
On the other hand, a pulse-train is a small group of pulses called the burst and then like you apply the stimulus in the form of a pulse train, you fire (apply) the stimulus in the form of a series of bursts.

Dear Srinivasa,
A pulse train (or train of pulses) refers to a series of consecutive pulses whereas a pulse refers to a single pulse.
The term "pulse train" arises from the coaches of a passenger train where several coaches are attached to the locomotive and hence follow one another.
It has nothing to do with the shape or type of the pulse itself it is more a definition.
