METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ESTABLISHING, ADJUSTING, AND/OR MODULATING PARAMETERS FOR NEURAL STIMULATION BASED ON FUNCTIONAL AND/OR STRUCTURAL MEASUREMENTS
Methods and systems for establishing, adjusting, and/or modulating parameters for neural stimulation based, at least in part, on functional and/or structural measurements are disclosed. A method in accordance with one embodiment includes measuring a volume of functionally active neural tissue within a patients central nervous system both before and after affecting a target neural population of the patient with electromagnetic stimulation. The method further includes controlling at least one signal delivery parameter with which the electromagnetic stimulation is applied to the patient based, at least in part, on the measured difference in the volume of functionally active neural tissue.
