System and method for automatically optimizing the stimulus parameters and/or the configuration of electrodes to provide neural stimulation to a patient, the system includes an electrode array having a support member configured to be implanted into the patient and a plurality of therapy electrodes carried by the support member. The system can also have a pulse system operatively coupled to the therapy electrodes to deliver a stimulus to the therapy electrodes, and a sensing device configured to be attached to a sensing location of the patient. The sensing device generates response signals in response to the stimulus. The system can also include a controller that generates command signals that define the stimulus delivered by the pulse system, evaluates the response signals from the sensing device, and determines a desired configuration for the therapy electrodes and/or a desired stimulus to be delivered to the therapy electrodes.
A method for optimizing electrical stimulation for an implantable stimulation device used to treat a patient's neurological disorder, wherein the stimulation device comprises 1) an electrode array having a plurality of electrodes that is positioned at a target therapy site such that the array is above the skull and below the dura over the target therapy site;
A method for optimizing therapeutic stimulation parameters for a patient suffering from pain or depression using therapy electrodes that have been positioned at a target therapy site within the central nervous system, the method comprising:
