1. A method for selective neuromodulation in a live mammalian subject, comprising:

  • selecting parameters for an energy-efficient waveform to selectively activate neural tissue; and

    applying an electrical signal to a site in the nervous system of the subject, wherein the electrical signal comprises pulses having the energy-efficient waveform,wherein the energy-efficient waveform is more energy-efficient than a hypothetical pulse having a rectangular waveform but otherwise having the same parameter settings as the energy-efficient waveform.
