1. An apparatus for generating an electrical signal for use in biomedical applications, said electrical signal comprising:

  • (a) at least four relatively longer primary timing intervals T1, T2, T3, T4 and others if present, forming in succession a repeating primary cycle, said primary cycle having a frequency;

    (b) at least two relatively shorter secondary timing intervals t1, t2 and so forth, into which at least one of said primary timing intervals is divided and which form in succession a repeating secondary cycle throughout its length, said secondary cycle having a frequency, said frequency lying below 200 kHz;

    while at least one other of said primary timing intervals is not so divided;

    (c) a plurality of substantially constant voltage or current levels L1, L2 and so forth;

    (d) selection of one of said voltage or current levels during each of said secondary intervals within a said primary interval which is so divided, or during the whole of said primary interval if it is not so divided;

    said levels, selected in succession throughout the course of said primary cycle, thereby forming said electrical signal; and

    (e) further selection of one or more of said primary intervals, said intervals being not so divided, as one or more equalizing pulses for the establishment of substantial charge balance throughout the course of any one repetition of said primary cycle.
