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 11):
A method, comprising:\n supplying a first electrical current to at least a first electrode implanted in a recipient such that a first stimulating electrical current emanating from the first electrode stimulates tissue of the recipient; obtaining a property of an electrical voltage resulting from the first stimulating electrical current at at least one recording electrode that is implanted in the recipient; supplying a second electrical current to at least a second electrode implanted in the recipient such that a second stimulating electrical current emanating from the second electrode stimulates tissue of the recipient, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are part of a sensory prosthesis configured to stimulate tissue of the recipient to evoke a sensory percept; obtaining a property of an electrical voltage resulting from the second electrical current at the at least one recording electrode; and determining, based on the obtained properties, at least one nullity weighting that when at least one of the first and second 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 nullity weighting.
