A new speech processing strategy, termed Frequency Modulated Stimulation (FMS), is provided for use with a cochlear prosthetic. The FMS strategy advantageously mimics the neural firing patterns of the healthy cochlea by controlling when and where stimulation pulses are presented in the cochlea. The benefits of this approach are its simplicity and its ability to provide temporal information at relatively low power consumption. The stimulation that results has high temporal precision and a low pulse presentation rate. The power efficiency of the FMS strategy is three to six times greater than that of a CIS strategy with comparable thresholds. The FMS strategy depends on the probability that at any point along the basilar membrane the ganglion cells are most likely to respond during the upward motion of the basilar membrane, when the hair cells are pushed toward the tectorial membrane. At low frequencies, this probability accounts for phase locking of the neurons to each peak of the motion. At high frequency locations, phase locking occurs at integer multiples of the vibration cycles because the vibration of the membrane is faster than the refractory period of the neurons. The FMS strategy provided by the invention takes advantage of the natural behavior of the ganglion cells by outputting a biphasic pulse at the preset integer multiples of the vibration cycles. Integer multiples are determined by counting the positive-to-negative zero crossings, or equivalent frequency counting, at the output of the band pass filters that decompose the incoming audio signal(s).
