Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for the management of neural activity in an individual. Nerve activity is sensed and correlated with sensations such as pain. In response and without requiring input from the individual, although external input is contemplated, a signal is transmitted to another component for electrical stimulation that alters neural activity. Also, the modulation of the signals between the sensor and stimulator may be modified by a third component independently, independent of, or including user inputs.
