Abstract
A medical system configured for performing a medical function in a patient comprises a medical lead configured for being implanted adjacent a tissue region of the patient, and an electrode configured for being implanted adjacent the tissue region. The medical system further comprises analog output circuitry configured for delivering one or more electrical signals having a plurality of different sinusoidal frequency components to the tissue region via the electrode, monitoring circuitry configured for measuring a plurality of different frequency-dependent or other basis function electrical parameter values in response to the delivery of the one or more electrical signals to the tissue region, and at least one controller/processor configured for analyzing the different electrical parameter values, and performing a function based on the different analyzed electrical parameter values.
