Abstract
The present invention generally relates to patterned intensity modulation of neural tissue. Certain embodiments provide a method of treating medical conditions by providing an electrode and modulating stimulation parameters delivered by the electrode. The stimulation parameters that are modulated relate to stimulation intensity and are varied according to a stimulation input parameter or time. The stimulation input parameter can be a choice of an individual waveform (i.e. Ψ or psi), which may be varied for each pulse.
