    Psychophysical matching of sensations produced by acoustic and electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve [Abstract]

    The aim of this study was to establish an acoustic model of a multiple-channel cochlear implant that could be used in the development of speech coding strategies. Identical psychophysical tests were carried out with electrical stimuli for two cochlear implant patients and with acoustic stimuli for three normally hearing listeners. Each electrical stimulus was a train of biphasic pulses at a constant rate between 50 and 100 pps directed to one of the 10 electrodes spaced at 1.5mm intervals around the basal turn of the cochlea (Clark et al. 1977). The corresponding acoustic stimulus was a train of noise bursts at a rate equal to the electrical pulse rate. The noise bursts were passed through one of 8 bandpass filters with centre frequencies equally spaced on a logarithmic scale from 1140 to 10880 Hz representing 8 different electrodes.
