Method and apparatus for determining true neural activation changes

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions, which when executed by a system, cause the system to perform a method for delivering neurostimulation to a patient, the method comprising:

• delivering the neurostimulation;
• sensing a neural signal indicative of neural responses, the neural responses each being a response to the delivery of the neurostimulation;
• and
• controlling the delivery of the neurostimulation using a plurality of stimulation parameters, including:
• detecting morphological features of the neural responses;
• producing a neural response parameter using the detected morphological features;
• detecting a change in the sensed neural signal;
• analyzing the produced neural response parameter for attributing the detected change to a neural activation change in the patient or a body movement of the patient to indicate a likeliness of occurrence of the neural activation change;
• and
• controlling a dynamically controlled stimulation parameter of the plurality of stimulation parameters using the sensed neural signal according to the indicated likeliness of occurrence of the neural activation change.
