ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention takes masking effects into consideration when determining stimulations signals for neural stimulation. These masking effects may be modeled using user-specific models determined by taking measurements for an implant system of an implant recipient. Or, the model may correspond to a group of individuals sharing a common characteristic or the population as a whole. These models may be, for example, psycho-physical or electrophysiological models.
