Can Interactions Occur During the Simultaneous Stimulation of Two or More Electrode-Channels?

Can We Reduce Inter-Electrode-Channel Interactions by Temporally interlacing Pulses Between the Channels?

Quotes from the Literature:

• In psychophysical experiments, Don Eddington found that stimulating 2 channels simultaneously could result in significantly different behavioral thresholds depending on the relative polarity of the two electrode-channels.

• Eddington also was the first in the cochlear implant community (that this investigator is aware of) to suggest that interleaving pulses between the channels was a potential solution to this potential problem.  More information
