Abstract

An optical modulation system includes a user interface including a plurality of user-selectable controls to select or adjust values for each of a plurality of modulation parameters and estimating a modulation dosage or irradiance at a target based on, at least, the target, a location of an optical modulation lead, values of the modulation parameters, and estimated light attenuation by tissue between the optical modulation lead and the target. An optical modulation system can limit selection of the value of at least one of the modulation parameters by at least one of a) an estimation of a modulation dosage at the target or b) an estimation of a dosage, temperature change, temperature, heating, or delivering energy at non-target issue.
