Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting the direction of one or more crossing electric fields that have been induced by a set of electrodes positioned on a patient, without necessitating movement of any of the electrodes. This is achieved through the use of one or more electrode patches, which effectively allow an electric field generator to control a position of a source/sink of an electric field, to thereby control a direction of the electric field.
