摘要:A signal processing arrangement generates electrical stimulation signals toelectrode contacts in an implanted cochlear implant array. An input sound signal isanalyzed to determine characteristic frequency components. One or more stimulation
events are requested based on the timing and amplitude of the frequency component. Afrequency-specific stimulation sequence (FSSS) is generated for stimulation of a pluralityof adjacent electrode contacts. The FSSS starts with a stimulation pulse to the highest-frequency, most-basal electrode contact of the adjacent electrode contacts, ends with astimulation pulse to the lowest-frequency, most-apical electrode contact of the adjacentelectrode contacts, and reaches a maximum stimulation amplitude at a frequency-specificlocation within the cochlea corresponding to a natural traveling wave maximum. Theelectrode stimulation signals are then generated from the FSSS for delivery by theelectrode contacts to adjacent auditory neural tissue.
