Abstract
Systems, devices, methods, and techniques are described for phase misalignment correction for evoked compound action potential (ECAP) measurement from alternating polarity stimulation. An example system includes processing circuitry that receives a first ECAP signal elicited by a first polarity configuration of stimulus electrodes and receives a second ECAP signal elicited by a second polarity configuration of the stimulus electrodes opposite the first polarity configuration. The processing circuitry also generates an adjusted second ECAP signal by temporally aligning at least a portion of the second ECAP signal to at least a portion of the first ECAP signal, and generates a composite ECAP signal based on the first ECAP signal and the adjusted second ECAP signal. Additionally, the processing circuitry outputs the composite ECAP signal.
