Abstract

Methods and systems can facilitate visualizing cathodic and anodic stimulation separately via displaying and modifying graphical representations of anodic and cathodic volumes of activation. Alternately, the methods and systems may separately visualize stimulation of different neural elements, such as nerve fibers and neural cells. These methods and systems can further facilitate programming an electrical stimulation system for stimulating patient tissue.
