Adaptive Sample Reduction Techniques for Continuous Interleaved Sampling Strategy in Multi Channel Cochlear Implant

CIS (Continuous Interleaved Sampling) strategy in which electrodes stimulus is determined based on extracted information from amplitude of different bands of input signal, is a basis in processing methods in cochlear implant systems. In this paper besides implementing this strategy, methods for improving sample reduction and computational efficiency are also presented. In this case adaptive method according to processing parameters and an input signal has been suggested that due to the use of fewer samples to synthesize the signal is better than the other methods and is significantly efficient.
