Abstract
A method of reducing arrhythmic electrical states in a biological tissue, the method comprising: placing a plurality of electrode pairs around the biological tissue; and sequentially applying an electric charge to the plurality of electrode pairs. Each electric charge applied to the plurality of electrodes pairs can stimulate a distinct portion of the biological tissue. Placing the plurality of electrode pairs around the biological tissue can comprise: placing a first electrode pair around a first portion of the biological tissue; and placing a second electrode pair around a second portion of the biological tissue.
