1. A method for determining a desired location at which to apply a neural therapy, the method comprising:
- positioning an array of electrodes proximal to neural tissue;
applying a stimulus from the array which evokes a neural compound action potential response in the neural tissue proximal to the array;
using a plurality of electrodes of the array to simultaneously obtain respective measurements of the neural compound action potential response; and
determining from the measurements of the neural compound action potential response a desired location for a neural therapy.

Abstract
A method for determining a desired location at which to apply a neural therapy. An array of electrodes is positioned proximal to neural tissue. A stimulus is applied from the array which evokes a neural compound action potential response in the neural tissue proximal to the array. A plurality of electrodes of the array simultaneously obtain respective measurements of the neural compound action potential response. From the measurements of the neural compound action potential response a desired location for a neural therapy is determined.
