| 1. A method of neural stimulation comprising:
stimulating neural tissue according to an input stimulus for a first period, thus producing a neural response;
modifying the input stimulus for a second period, said modifying and said second period being configured to reset the neural
response; and
repeating said stimulating and said modifying,
wherein the second period is further configured jointly with the first period to increase persistence of the neural stimulation.
