Abstract
Devices, systems, and techniques are described that use electric field imaging (often referred to as the sensed stimulation artifact representative of a delivered stimulus) as an informative feedback signal to provide closed loop control of electrical stimulation therapy. In some examples, the electric field imaging may be used in combination with other feedback signals, such as ECAP do monitor and adjust the delivered electrical stimulation therapy.
