Claim One:
1. A neural stimulator, comprising: controller circuitry; neural stimulation output circuitry configured to deliver the neural stimulation, wherein the controller circuitry is configured to control stimulation parameters of the neural stimulation delivered by the neural stimulation output circuitry; sensor circuitry, including at least one sensor, configured to sense a response to the neural stimulation, wherein the controller is configured to communicate with the sensor circuitry; a memory with instructions operable on by the controller circuitry, wherein the instructions include: instructions for delivering neural stimulation using the neural stimulation output circuitry; instructions for controlling a titration sweep, wherein the titration sweep varies stimulation parameter values; and instructions for monitoring a response to the titration sweep and automatically selecting stimulation parameters that provide an efficacious neural stimulation and provide a desirable safety margin to prevent injury to neural tissue.
