Modeling of Auditory Neuron Response Thresholds with Cochlear Implants

Figure 5

Mean NRT thresholds (±Standard Deviation) and mean characteristic auditory neuron frequency (±Standard Deviation) as a function of electrode number. Displaying NRT thresholds as a function of auditory neuron frequency for each electrode (a) clearly reveals the large variation of both NRT and frequency for the same electrode. Thus, a precise assessment requires the consideration of each electrode individually as a single point of coordinates (frequency, NRT), rather than the use of the electrode number (b).
