1. A method of stimulating neural tissue using at least one electrode, comprising:

  • measuring pressure indicative of the electrical coupling efficiency between the at least one electrode and the neural tissue;

    delivering stimulation energy through the at least one electrode to the neural tissue; and

    automatically adjusting the stimulation energy delivered through the at least one electrode to the neural tissue based on the pressure measurement.
