1. A method of eliciting stochastic firing of excitable tissue cells using a neurostimulator, the neurostimulator having multiple electrode contacts through which electrical stimulation may be applied to the excitable tissue cells, the method comprising:

  • generating a pulsatile stimulation waveform having a pulse rate of at least 2000 Hz, and pulse widths of 100 μ

    S or less;

    amplitude modulating the pulsatile stimulation waveform with control information; and

    applying the amplitude-modulated pulsatile stimulation waveform to selected ones of the multiple electrode contacts.
