Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus to autonomously stimulate a plurality of nerve fiber groups. The method and apparatus predicts stimulus parameters that can activate 0-100% of the nerve fiber groups selectively according to a patient's characteristics and proportional to therapeutic outcomes, such as determined by experimental data. The method and apparatus may further be configured to input experimental third-party data to obtain a high efficacy from a patient without invasive neurosurgery.
