Claim One:
1. A method of electrical artifact compensation evoked by a first electrical stimulus, the method comprising: applying a first electrical stimulus to nerves using one or more first stimulating electrodes, the first electrical stimulus becoming subject to charge redistribution resulting in a stimulus artifact; configuring a compensatory electrical stimulus to substantially compensate for the stimulus artifact thereby reducing the stimulus artifact; applying the compensatory electrical stimulus to the nerves using one or more second stimulating electrodes, whereby the compensatory electrical stimulus is configured to improve measurement of a response of the stimulated nerves to the applied electrical stimuli; measuring a response of the stimulated nerves to the applied electrical stimuli using one or more sensing electrodes that are different than the one or more first and second stimulus electrodes; and altering a subsequent compensatory electrical stimulus based on the measured response.
