Abstract:
A method including reducing a stimulation artefact of an implantable stimulator including a plurality of stimulating electrodes by obtaining respective information on respective artefact voltages at a first location resulting from stimulation by one electrode group or respective electrode groups of the implanted stimulator and determining an adjustment regime based on the obtained information that results in a reduction of the stimulation artefact at the first location relative to that which would be the case in the absence of the regime.

Claim (Index 39):
The method of  claim 11 , subsequent to the action of determining, further comprising:\n supplying a third electrical current to at least the first electrode implanted in the recipient such that third stimulating electrical current emanating from the first electrode stimulates tissue of the recipient; obtaining a property of an electrical voltage resulting from the third stimulating electrical current at at least one recording electrode that is implanted in the recipient; supplying a fourth electrical current to at least the second electrode implanted in the recipient such that a fourth stimulating electrical current emanating from the second electrode stimulates tissue of the recipient, obtaining a property of an electrical voltage resulting from the fourth electrical current at the at least one recording electrode; and determining, based on the obtained properties, at least one new nullity weighting that when at least one of the third and fourth electrical currents is adjusted thereby would result in a summation of the voltages of the first stimulating electrical current and the second stimulating electrical current at the at least one recording electrode to be closer to zero than that which would be the case in the absence of the new nullity weighting.
