1. A method of electrically stimulating neural tissue of the spinal cord comprising the steps of:

  • providing a source of electrical pulses;

    providing a first electrode and an electrical return path;

    connecting the first electrode to the source of electrical pulses;

    placing the first electrode near a patient'"'"'s spinal cord;

    applying a hyperpolarizing electrical pre-pulse to the tissue through the first electrode and source of electrical pulses whereby the tissue is more susceptible to subsequent electric stimulation.
