receiving subject input values, wherein the subject input values comprise input values determined based on currently sensed or currently received values;
comparing the received subject input values with sets of selected predetermined input values, wherein each set of selected predetermined input values is related to a respective stimulation parameter, and wherein each set of selected predetermined input values comprises respective input values that were previously determined based on one or more previously sensed or previously received values and stored in memory;
determining a set of selected predetermined input values based on the comparison;
recalling the respective stimulation parameter related to the determined set of selected predetermined input values;
determining a subject stimulation parameter based on the recalled respective stimulation parameter; and
outputting the determined subject stimulation parameter via a simulation assembly to activate the lingual muscle of the subject with at least one lead.
