      abstract     = {The electrical stimulation of neuronal tissue proofs to be
                      a growing topic in current research both in physics,
                      chemistry and in biomedical sciences [1] [2]. Insights of
                      this field led to powerful techniques like Deep Brain
                      Stimulation (DBS) as a standard therapy against idiopathic
                      dystonia, Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor [3] [4]
                      and severe forms of depression [5] [6] (see [7] for a list
                      of reviews in the high frequency stimulation field of the
                      last decade). A further field of application are medical
                      prostheses like in the retina [8] or cochlea [9]. In theses
                      cases an electrical stimulation is used to influence
                      neuronal tissue in a designated manner, often by triggering
                      action potentials. To excite the neuron (depolarisation),
                      the stimulation pulse drives the extracellular space to
                      (more) negative potentials leading to a smaller absolute
                      value of the membrane potential, which remains still
                      negative. If the potential difference over the axon membrane
                      rises above a given value, an action potential occurs. The
                      principle processes of generating a physiological action
                      potential are well understood and reviewed in literature},
