Claim One:
1. A method of modulating neural tissue using at least one electrode, the method comprising: determining a neural tissue region to be modulated wherein the neural tissue region includes nerve fibers that have a diameter size, including: determining a first region within the neural tissue region where action potentials or propagation of action potentials in the neural tissue is to be blocked; and determining a second region within the neural tissue region where neural tissue is to be stimulated; placing the at least one electrode near the neural tissue region such that the first region is between the electrode and the second region; delivering neurostimulation to the neural tissue region, wherein the neurostimulation includes a frequency and an amplitude to block nerve fibers that have the diameter size to a first depth from the at least one electrode and to stimulate nerve fibers that have the diameter size from the first depth to a second depth from the at least one electrode; and tuning the neurostimulation to adjust the first depth to a distance from the at least one electrode that corresponds to a separation between the first region and the second region.
