Stimulation channel selection methods
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A stimulation channel selection method for an implantable cochlear stimulation system having a multiplicity of channels, comprising:
- computing a probability for each channel within the multiplicity of channels; and
selecting, by a speech processor included within the implantable cochlear stimulation system, at least one of the channels for stimulation during a frame;
wherein the selecting of the at least one of the channels for stimulation during the frame comprises;
selecting a channel;
obtaining a random number;
comparing the random number to the probability of the channel; and
selecting the channel for stimulation if the probability of the channel is greater than the random number.

Abstract
Stimulation channel selection methods for an implantable neural stimulation system having a multiplicity of channels include computing a probability for each channel within the multiplicity of channels and selecting at least one of the channels for stimulation during a frame. The selecting of the at least one of the channels for stimulation during the frame includes selecting a channel, obtaining a random number, comparing the random number to the probability of the channel, and selecting the channel for stimulation if the probability of the channel is greater than the random number.
