摘要： A apparatus and method for inner ear implants is provided that generates signal processing stochastic independence activity across the excited neural population. A high rate pulse train can produce random spike patterns in auditory nerve fibers (hereafter “pseudospontaneous activity”) that are statistically similar to those produced by spontaneous activity in the normal auditory nerve. We call this activity “pseudospontaneous”. Varying rates of pseudospontaneous activity can be created by varying the intensity of a fixed amplitude, high rate pulse train stimulus, e.g., 5000 pps. The high rate pulse train can desynchronize the nerve fiber population and can be combined with a data signal in an inner ear implant. The pseudospontaneous activity can enhance neural representation of temporal detail and dynamic range with an inner ear implant such as a cochlear implant. The pseudospontaneous activity can further eliminate a major difference between acoustic-and electrical-derived hearing percepts.
摘要翻译：提供了一种用于内耳植入物的装置和方法，其产生跨越兴奋神经群体的信号处理随机独立性活动。高速脉冲串可以在听觉神经纤维（以下称为“假性自发活动”）中产生与在正常听觉神经中自发活动产生的相似的随机尖峰图案。我们称这个活动为“假自发”。假自发活动的变化率可以通过改变固定幅度，高速率脉冲序列刺激（例如5000pps）的强度来产生。高速脉冲串可以使神经纤维群体不同步，并且可以与内耳植入物中的数据信号组合。伪自发活动可以使用诸如耳蜗植入物的内耳植入物来增强时间细节和动态范围的神经表示。假性自发活动可以进一步消除声学和电学的听觉感知之间的主要区别。

摘要： A vestibular implant comprising a stimulation unit to generate electric stimuli and deliver to electrode arrays is disclosed. The stimulation unit generates electric stimuli in response to a user input or continuously generates electrical stimuli. The electrode arrays comprise electrodes and are adapted for placement within a semicircular canal of an ear. The electric stimuli is delivered from the stimulation unit to the electrode so that the electrodes apply electric stimuli. A predetermined electric stimulus is applied to restore spontaneous vestibular activity during a Meniere's attack. A continuous, unmodulated electric stimulus is applied to suppress the symptoms of unilateral loss of vestibular function. Additionally, the electrodes record electrically evoked compound action potentials (eCAP). An appropriate location for the placement of the electrode array is determined based on the recorded eCAP.

摘要： The restoration of melody perception is a key remaining challenge in cochlear implants. A novel sound coding strategy is proposed that converts an input audio signal into time-varying electrically stimulating pulse trains. A sound is first split into several frequency sub-bands with a fixed filter bank or a dynamic filter bank tracking harmonics in sounds. Each sub-band signal is coherently downward shifted to a low-frequency base band. These resulting coherent envelope signals have Hermitian symmetric frequency spectrums and are thus real-valued. A peak detector or high-rate sampler of half-wave rectified coherent envelope signals in each sub-band further converts the coherent envelopes into rate-varying, interleaved pulse trains. Acoustic simulations of cochlear implants using this new technique with normal hearing listeners, showed significant improvement in melody recognition over the most common conventional stimulation approach used in cochlear implants.

摘要： The present technology is directed to vestibular prostheses and associated systems and methods. In several embodiments, for example, a vestibular prosthesis includes an external rotational sensor configured to receive velocity and orientation information. The prosthesis further includes an external processor configured to convert the velocity and orientation information into an audio signal. The audio signal is sent to a cochlear implant, which applies stimulation to a semicircular ear canal in response to receiving the audio signal. In some embodiments, the processor and cochlear implant communicate in real time via an inductive link.
