Abstract:
1. A method of obtaining neural responses (NR) with a stimulation system having an array of electrodes, El . . . EN, to generate growth curves, NR # 1 to NR #Last, the method comprising: (a) delivering, without causing a predetermined level of NR attenuation, a stimulus train having X stimuli through one electrode of the array E (b) repeating the above process of stimulating through each selected ones of electrodes of the array E (c) repeating the above steps (a) and (b) as many times as necessary to generate additional, different datapoints on each selected growth curve NR# wherein X is a variable, whole number 1 or greater, and X represents the number of stimuli in any stimulus train; and wherein no two adjacent electrodes or electrode configurations deliver stimulation immediately, one after the other, in order to reduce channel cross-talk.
