Claim One:
1. A neural stimulation system, comprising: a stimulation output circuit including at least one stimulation channel to deliver neural stimulation pulses; a stimulation controller, coupled to the stimulation output circuit, to control the delivery of the neural stimulation pulses using a plurality of stimulation parameters including at least a first parameter and a second parameter; and a safety controller coupled to the stimulation controller, the safety controller including: a safety-control event detection module including an energy detection module adapted to detect a stimulation energy being an energy of one or more of the neural stimulation pulses and a stimulation parameter detection module adapted to detect at least a first parameter value being a value of the first parameter and a second parameter value being a value of the second parameter, the safety-control event detection module adapted to indicate a detection of a safety-control event when the stimulation energy exceeds a predetermined threshold energy and when the first parameter value exceeds a first threshold value of the first parameter and adapted to dynamically adjust the first threshold value using at least the second parameter value; and a safety response module adapted to adjust one or more parameters of the plurality of stimulation parameters in response to the detection of the safety-control event.
