Methods and systems can facilitate visualizing cathodic and anodic stimulation separately via displaying and modifying graphical representations of anodic and cathodic volumes of activation. Alternately, the methods and systems may separately visualize stimulation of different neural elements, such as nerve fibers and neural cells. These methods and systems can further facilitate programming an electrical stimulation system for stimulating patient tissue.

Systems and methods for visualizing and programming electrical stimulation

A system may comprise a controller configured to implement an algorithm on a received input to produce an output, and a system input operably connected to the controller and configured for use to enter at least one input into the algorithm. The at least one input may include: one or more sensor inputs or one or more inputs from smart appliances or one or more user inputs regarding at least one of time of day or mental or physical state; or at least one of a user-inputted disease, a user-inputted disease state, or a user-inputted symptom-related information into the algorithm. The controller may be configured to provide instructions through the system output to implement a system action. The algorithm implemented by the controller may be configured to identify one, or a combination of more than one, of the neuromodulation modes as a candidate neuromodulation mode based on the input(s).
