1. An electronic device for determining electrode configuration and positioning for neurostimulation, the electronic device comprising:

  • a memory storage component configured to store programming code; and

    a computer processor configured to execute the programming code to perform the following tasks;

    providing, at least in part via a graphical user interface, a virtual representation of an implant lead, the implant lead being configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a patient via one or more of a plurality of electrodes located on the implant lead;

    providing, at least in part via the graphical user interface, a plurality of unique predefined electrode activation patterns, wherein each of the predefined electrode activation patterns identifies and displays a plurality of subsets of the electrodes that can be activated one subset at a time, wherein the electrodes in each subset are programmed, by the computer processor, with their respective electrical stimulation parameters;

    receiving a user selection of one of the predefined electrode activation patterns;

    visually indicating on the virtual representation of the implant lead, which electrodes correspond to one of the plurality of the subset of the electrodes of the user selected predefined electrode activation pattern when a particular subset is user selected; and

    activating the subsets of the electrodes of the user selected predefined electrode activation pattern one subset at a time, wherein each activated subset of electrodes is adapted to deliver electrical stimulation to a different region of a spine of the patient.
