BMEN90033 2026: Action Potential Dipole — 3D Visualisation

Depolarised region
Resting tissue
Depolarisation dipole (+x)
Repolarisation dipole (−x)
Intracellular current
Electrode A (+)
Electrode B (−)

Arrows show the extracellular field (viridis colourmap) from both dipoles. Orange arrows show intracellular current between wavefronts. The plot shows VA − VB over time.

VA = 0.000 VB = 0.000
VA − VB = 0.000
