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