• Resumen

  • The Panoramic ECAP Method (PECAP) is a research tool that leverages objective measurements of neural responses to a cochlear implant (electrically evoked compound action potentials, or ECAPs) to provide detailed estimates of neural-activation patterns along the length of the implanted cochlea. An online implementation of the PECAP tool is presented for use with two devices of the three major cochlear-implant manufacturers. The associated online platform can be used in conjunction with cochlear-implant clinical software to collect PECAP data from users and to analyse the resulting measurements to predict personalised current-spread and neural-responsiveness estimates for each active electrode in the patient’s clinical software.
