Stimulating Auditory Nerve Fibers To Provide Pitch Representation
US Patent:
8019430, Sep 13, 2011
Filed:
Mar 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/723696
Inventors:
Christopher van den Honert - Boulder CO, US
Assignee:
Cochlear Limited - Macquarie University, NSW
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
607 57, 607 56
Abstract:
Aspects provide methods and sound processor for encoding stimulation signals to convey pitch perception information to a recipient. The method may comprise identifying a first stimulation site based on a selected frequency component of the sound signal that contains pitch perception information, wherein a stimulation signal is generated based on the selected frequency component; determining a second stimulation site adjacent to the first stimulation site; and determining a time delay between when the second stimulation site is independently stimulated with the stimulation signal and when the first stimulation site is independently stimulated with the stimulation signal.
Using Interaction To Measure Neural Excitation
US Patent:

Assignee:
COCHLEAR LIMITED - Lane Cove
International Classification:
A61F 11/04
US Classification:
607 57
Abstract:
Assessment of neuron excitation is implemented by quantifying the interaction between focused and unfocused stimulation applied to a cochlear array. By applying focused and unfocused stimulation to the electrode array and comparing the difference in the responses to the two types of stimulation the interaction may be determined. The magnitude of the interaction may be related to neural excitation and using this data a neural excitation profile may be determined.
Assessing Neural Survival

International Classification:
H04R 25/00, A61B 5/05
US Classification:
607 57, 600425
Abstract:
Neural survival related to a cochlear implant may be assessed by determining stimulus efficacy for both focused and unfocused stimulation at a plurality of locations adjacent nerve tissue; and comparing stimulus efficacy for both the focused and unfocused stimulation at a plurality of locations to determine a measure of neural survival. In particular small differences in effects produced by unfocused and focused stimulation at each of the locations tends to indicate good survival at those locations and conversely large differences in effects of focused and unfocused stimulation at a given location indicate poor survival at that location.
