1. A method for stimulation of neural tissue to treat a neurological condition, the method comprising:

  • providing a stimulator apparatus configured to operate in or on the neural tissue, the stimulator apparatus including an optical window with an exterior configured to maintain an optical property of the optical window for an extended period of time, wherein the stimulator apparatus is configured to generate one or more optical stimulation signals;

    delivering an optical stimulation signal generated by the stimulator apparatus to the neural tissue through the optical window to treat the neurological condition and to allow for measurement of changes in optical properties of the neural tissue; and

    modulating the optical stimulation signal in response to one or more measured optical properties of the neural tissue exceeding or dropping below a predetermined threshold.
