Claim One:
1. A method for delivering a stimulating signal by a stimulating medical device having a plurality of electrodes, comprising: receiving a signal; filtering the received signal to obtain a first set of one or more band-pass filtered signals; selecting a first stimulation channel corresponding to a band-pass filtered signal of the first set based on an amplitude of the corresponding band-pass filtered signal; determining if a difference between an amplitude of the band-pass filtered signal for the selected first stimulation channel and an amplitude of a band-passed filtered signal for a stimulation channel adjacent the selected stimulation channel exceeds a threshold; selecting the adjacent stimulation channel based on whether the threshold is exceeded; determining an amplitude for application of stimulation on the first stimulation channel and an amplitude for application of stimulation on the adjacent stimulation channel; and delivering a stimulation signal on the first stimulation channel and a stimulation signal on the adjacent stimulation channel in accordance with the determined amplitudes.
