碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電機資訊國際學程 === 104 === The details written in this document, records a series of experiments in which attempts were made to decode the control data for a commercially available cochlear implant (CI) device. Cochlear implants are surgically implanted under the skin located just behind the ear of a patient with the attached electrode array reaching into the cochlea. Commercially available cochlear implant systems are made with their manufacture’s stimulation strategy built into the speech/sound processor component of the system. However, bypassing components such as the above-mentioned speech/sound processor can facilitate real-time electrical stimulation using various stimulation strategies. The overall goal is to be able to execute a given cochlear implant stimulation strategy in real-time. Upon achieving this goal, doors to many possibilities would be opened, such as, using different stimulating strategies, comparing strategies and even data collection.
