#$%^&*AU2016201242B220200227.pdf#####ABSTRACT According to an embodiment, an auditory devicefor generating an electrode stimulation signal is disclosed. The device includes a filter bank configured to filter an incoming 5 audio signal into a plurality of band pass limited audio signals, each band pass limited audio signal relating to an audio frequency band. The device further includes a processor configured to extract an onset time for firing an electrode in accordance with rate of change of a band pass limited audio signal and/ or a derived band pass limited audio signal satisfying a predetermined criterion, and a signal generator for generating the 10 electrode stimulation signal for the electrode corresponding to the band pass limited audio signal and/ or derived band pass limited audio signal in accordance with the determined onset time. The device includes a plurality of implantable stimulation electrodes configured to deliver the electrode stimulation signal to a region of cochlea. 15 (Figure 1 is to be published)0 0 r14, o 0 0, mOM cn 0 m 000 0o 0
