Claim 18:
19. The system of claim 2, wherein the at least two vagus nerve electrodes include three vagus nerve electrodes, and wherein the first set of signal parameters includes an amplitude of the electrical signal, and wherein the controller is further configured to:
control the signal generator to increase the amplitude of the electrical signals while determining a first condition and a second condition,
the first condition specifying that at least one of a heart rate or an estimate of fiber activation magnitude of the B-type fibers increases,
the second condition specifying that there is a decrease in at least one of an electromyography parameter in the electromyography measurements or an estimate of fiber activation magnitude of the efferent A-type fibers, and there is a decrease in at least one of a breathing interval in the breathing interval measurements or an estimate of fiber activation magnitude of the afferent A-type fibers; and

generate an indication on the display to adjust the at least two vagus nerve electrodes if the increase in the amplitude fails to satisfy the first condition and the second condition.
