Claim 0:
1. A method for adjusting electrical stimulation provided to a patient's neural tissue using an implantable electrode lead comprising a plurality of electrodes, wherein the patient's neural tissue comprises a plurality of neural populations, the method comprising:
using a first one or more of the electrodes to issue electrical stimulation to the patient's neural tissue,
using a second one or more of the electrodes to record electrical signals in the patient's neural tissue, wherein the electrical signals comprise action potentials evoked by neural populations recruited by the stimulation,
decomposing the recorded electrical signals to determine contributions of one or more of the recruited neural populations to the recorded electrical signals by comparing the recorded electrical signals to modeled neural responses derived from a model, wherein the model comprises:
a plurality of modeled neural elements and a weight associated with each of the modeled neural populations, and
wherein the modeled neural responses comprise a weighted summation of modeled action potentials evoked in the modeled neural populations by the stimulation waveform, and

using the determined contributions to adjust the stimulation.
