Planning and/or control system for a neuromodulation system

A planning and/or control system for a system for providing neuromodulation, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform steps comprising:
• providing graphical information about an electrode array overlapped on an anatomical imaging of a patient, the graphical information comprises at least one target area;
• automatically recognizing dorsal root trajectory from the anatomical imaging;
• and
• determining, by receiving a selection of at least one of the at least one target area of the graphical information and translating the selection into a weighting of the electrode array based on the selection:
• a stimulation zone on the electrode array;
• non-targeted dorsal roots;
• and
• a contribution of currents provided by the electrode array, such that a stimulation field created by the electrode array avoid activation of the non-targeted roots;
• wherein the electrode array comprises multiple electrodes, or an implantation side for the electrode array comprises at least one target area;
• wherein each of the multiple electrodes is capable of independently delivering a different waveform.
