Abstract
The present invention concerns a neural stimulation device, and methods for its use, in which one or more stimulation parameters can be automatically and randomly adjusted such that any particular combination of stimulation parameters is not repeated for a given duration of time, thereby limiting habituation to the neural stimulus.
