ABSTRACT:
A method including applying varying signals to a first electrode at the tissue site and a second electrode remote from the tissue site and monitoring the results to determine a distinctive transition in the current-voltage characteristics of the electrode pair. A signal is then selected and applied to the electrodes to operate beyond the transition. Periodically, a varying signal is applied to the electrodes and the monitoring process reperformed to determine a new transition and an appropriate signal is selected to operate beyond the transition.
