| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present project, an optimal parameter set of simultaneous pulse-rate and -amplitude modulated (PRAM) electric stimuli was found such that the von Mises parameters in the spike trains in response to acoustic stimuli could be matched to those of electric stimuli through computer simulations using physiologically realistic auditory nerve fiber model. From the view point of saving electric energy, an parameter set of PRAM electric stimuli was also found for the von Mises parameters of acoustic stimuli with a specific range of pulse rates and a greater amplitude modulation depth. Therefore, it is concluded that the PRAM electric stimulating waveform designed on the basis of the present project may play a key role in improving the performance of cochlear implant devices.
