Claim One:
1. A device, comprising: a pulse generator adapted to provide a neural stimulation signal to be applied at a neural simulation site within an autonomic nervous system (ANS); a signal processing module adapted to receive and process sensed neural traffic at a neural sensing site within the ANS, wherein the sensed neural traffic includes an evoked response to the neural stimulation signal applied at the neural stimulation site; a controller configured to provide closed-loop control of the pulse generator, wherein the controller is connected to the pulse generator and adapted to provide a neural stimulation control signal to the pulse generator to generate the neural stimulation signal and connected to the signal processing module to receive a feedback control signal indicative of the evoked nerve traffic response to the neural stimulation signal, wherein the controller is configured to provide the closed-loop control by adjusting the neural stimulation control signal to adjust at least one parameter of the neural stimulation signal to converge on a desired evoked nerve traffic response target, wherein the controller is further configured to dynamically adjust the closed-loop control to account for another sensed physiological parameter or time, wherein in dynamically adjusting the closed-loop control, the controller is configured to use a clock or a sensed physiological parameter to dynamically adjust the desired evoked nerve traffic response target.
