Exploring the Use of Interleaved Stimuli to Measure Cochlear-Implant Excitation Patterns

ConclusionA method that is sensitive enough to reveal a modest broadening in RP  + 2 showed no evidence for sharpening with focussed stimulation. We also showed that although voltage recordings from the implant accurately predicted a broadening of the psychophysical excitation patterns with RP + 2, they wrongly predicted a strong sharpening with pTP + 2. We addition ally argue, based on our recent research, that the interleaved-masking method can usefully be applied to non-human species and objective measures of CI excitation patterns.
