Abstract
A signal processor-based (DSP32C) stimulation system for cochlear implants has been developed. This system allows up to 14 stimulation channels (place principle) and conserves the time structure of the acoustic signal (periodicity principle). Any combination of these features is possible; in compressed analogue mode, pulsatile mode, or combinations of both. The system also takes electrical crosstalk into account caused by the electrical properties of the inner ear and compensates for it. Lateral inhibition strategies improve spatial resolution. Finally, the system offers an interface for the generation of quick continuous interleaved sampling strategies (CIS); up to 11,000 pulses/s per channel.
