1. A system for determining parameters for electrical stimulation, the system comprising:
a memory having stored thereon processor-executable instructions for a volume of tissue activated (VTA) estimator;
a processor coupled to the memory configured to, when executing the processor-executable instructions for the VTA estimator, estimate, for each set of stimulation parameter values input into the VTA estimator, a volume of tissue that is activated by electrical stimulation using the set of stimulation parameter values, wherein the VTA estimator comprises a trained artificial intelligence module to estimate the volume of tissue that is activated by electrical stimulation using the set of stimulation parameter values, wherein the trained artificial intelligence module comprises an artificial neural network;
a user interface coupled to the processor and configured for input of the sets of stimulation parameter values; and
a display coupled to the processor and the user interface and configured for displaying the estimates generated by the VTA estimator.
