`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Some embodiments relate to a 2D array/chain of basic units
`where each basic unit is individually addressable. Each basic
`unit may include a rigid or semi-rigid plate-e.g. of elec(cid:173)
`trically insulating material and an electrode ( e.g. ball elec(cid:173)
`trode )-for example, a ball-shaped electrode. The device
`may be used to treat biological tissue-e.g. to provide
`TEMS muscle stimulation.
