A model that represents a large body of data on safety and damage levels of electrical
stimulation is presented. The predictions of the model are consistent with known principals
of current flow and known mechanisms of damage around stimulating electrodes. It is
proposed that limits on levels of electrical stimulation take into account the location of the
electrode relative to the stimulated tissue; these limits can be computed algorithmically from
the model.<>
