Abstract
Presented herein are excitation modeling and matching sound coding techniques that are configured to account for a recipient's estimated or predetermined neural response so as to improve a recipient's ability to perceive sound. More specifically, the techniques presented herein correlate a modeled excitation pattern with a target excitation pattern to generate a pattern of stimulation current configured to evoke an excitation pattern within the recipient's auditory system that approximates the target excitation pattern.
