1. An adaptive deep brain stimulation system comprising:
at least one processor and memory operably coupled to the at least one processor;
a measurement subsystem including
measurement subsystem instructions that, when executed on the at least one processor, cause the processor to implement a first signal classification algorithm using one or more of a plurality of sensing contacts to generate a first plurality of signals of interest;
an actuation subsystem including
actuation subsystem instructions that, when executed on the at least one processor, cause the processor to provide therapy on one or more of a plurality of stimulation contacts by one or more actuators according to a first control policy or a first control parameter;
a reconfiguration subsystem including reconfiguration subsystem instructions that, when executed on the at least one processor, cause the processor to:
determine at least one performance measure related to the measurement subsystem or the actuation subsystem,
detect a change in performance of the at least one performance measure and based on the change generate updated measurement subsystem instructions, or
generate updated actuation subsystem instructions; and
the updated measurement subsystem instructions or the updated actuation subsystem instructions, when executed on the at least one processor, cause the processor to provide an updated therapy on the one or more of the plurality of stimulation contacts.
