1. A method of neural stimulation, comprising the steps of:
- electrically connecting at least one electrode to a first tissue;
applying a stimulus to the at least one electrode;
observing a response of a second tissue;
identifying an electrode position on the first tissue wherein a desired response occurs on the second tissue when the stimulus is applied to the at least one electrode; and
fixing the at least one electrode in place at the identified electrode position.
