Fig. 2. Modulation of the sLEOD by loading the stimulus-object with capacitors. (A) sLEOD waveforms corresponding to open circuit (black), 16 nF (blue), 10 nF (green), 5 nF (red) and short circuit (grey; same color code throughout the figure). (B) Normalised waveforms (with respect to sV₃) to compare the relative values of sV₁, sV₄ and the phase advance of the slope sV₃-sV₄. (C) sLEOD corresponding to the four first loads as a function of the sLEOD corresponding to open circuit. Note the large phase shift. (D) Spectral density of the same signals. Ordinate corresponds to the energy dissipated locally during each EOD. Note that the relative amplitude of the humps in the high frequency shoulder (arrow) increases for intermediate loads, becoming the absolute maximum for 10 nF and 5 nF (red and green traces, respectively).
