1. A method comprising:

  • at least one processor and memory for;

    providing an electroanatomical model of a patient spine and spinal cord including a map of target neural elements and non-target neural elements;

    using model electrodes to simulate electrical stimulation of the target and non-target neural elements;

    determining differences in activation thresholds between the target neural elements and the non-target neural elements in a plurality of different configurations of the model electrodes; and

    generating an optimal spinal cord stimulation electrode configuration based on the determined differences in activation thresholds.
