Abstract
Electrical stimulation of a target (e.g., nervous tissue) is performed, wherein balance phases are automatically determined, and at least one of the electrodes is indirectly monitored during therapy delivery. The stimulation system is further configured to generate correction currents when a voltage accumulated at associated double layer capacitances crosses pre-defined thresholds so as to reduce or cancel the accumulated voltages without therapy interruption. A finer automatic determination of balance phases permits minimizing the stimulus artifact for evoked response sensing. Closed-loop neurostimulation may be performed based on such evoked responses.
