Abstract
Automatically analyzing neural activity. The method comprises: applying electrical stimulation to a target neural region at an initial current level that approximates a typical threshold-Neural Response Telemetry (NRT) level; recording an NRT measurement of neural activity within the target neural region in response to the stimulation; and utilizing a machine-learned expert system to predict, based on one or more features of the neural activity, whether the NRT measurement contains a neural response.
