Claim One:
1. A method for producing sets of stimuli to be applied by a stimulus generator to selected electrodes in an auditory prosthesis in response to an electrical signal corresponding to an acoustic signal, said method comprising: processing said electrical signals in accordance with a predetermined instruction set, said instruction set performing the steps of: analyzing the electrical signal to determine the electrodes to be stimulated; for each electrode to be stimulated, determining a set of stimuli so that the neural structures of a patient responsive to each electrode in response to said set of stimuli have a time domain response which is an approximation to the time domain response of a normal hearing person to said acoustic signal, said stimulus set including a plurality of stimuli, and each stimulus including at least the amplitude of the stimulus, and the timing of the stimulus; and providing control signals to said stimulation generator to cause said stimulation generator to produce said sets of stimuli.
