Cochlear implants and apparatus/methods for improving audio signals by use of frequency-amplitude-modulation-encoding (FAME) strategies

摘要

System and method for using Frequency-Amplitude-Modulation-Encoding (FAME) to improve the quality of sound perception for the cochlear implant users and the compress audio signals so that broadband qualities can be achieved with narrow-band transmission channels. In one embodiment, the FAME strategy extracts essential information (changes in amplitude and frequency) and is able to use a narrow-band capacity to provide broad-band (i.e. high quality) audio signals, which can be used in auditory prostheses and telecommunication.
