  • Generation of electrical stimuli for application to a cochlea
    Publication number: 20050192646
    Abstract: A method for processing sound signals to generate electrical stimuli for an auditory prosthesis electrode array including a plurality of electrodes, the method including: deriving (10) one or more filtered representations (FIGS. 3 and 4) of an incoming audio signal; and, generating (11) a series of spikes from each filtered signal representation to directly control electrode stimulation. Each spike has a temporal position based upon an instant at which the filtered signal representation crosses a predetermined threshold (ΓΏ;0).

  • Knowledge acquisition in expert systems
    Patent number: 6868422
    Abstract: A method of knowledge acquisition for entering data into a computer database in a readily computable format, comprises eliciting a set of data statements using an analysis structure determined from an underlying mathematical base, combined with a genuine falsificationist epistemology, entering elicited data statements into a database structured as a plurality of data entries, each data entry comprising a label, a said data statement and a default value, and a root node indicator; storing a relationship between said data entries as a connectivity lattice.
