Abstract[English]
Presented herein are techniques for delivering electrical (current) stimulation to a recipient. More specifically, in accordance with certain embodiments presented herein, at least one facilitating signal having a first spatial extent is delivered to the recipient in order to partially- depolarize nerve cells of the recipient. At least one stimulation signal having a second spatial extent is delivered to the recipient in order to activate at least a subset of the partially- depolarized nerve cells of the recipient. The second spatial extent of the at least one stimulation signal is different from the first spatial extent of the at least one facilitating signal.[French]
L'invention concerne des techniques pour administrer une stimulation électrique (courant) à un receveur. Plus particulièrement, selon certains modes de réalisation de la présente invention, au moins un signal de facilitation présentant une première étendue spatiale est administré au receveur afin de dépolariser partiellement les cellules nerveuses de ce dernier. Au moins un signal de stimulation présentant une seconde étendue spatiale est administré au receveur afin d'activer au moins un sous-ensemble des cellules nerveuses partiellement dépolarisées de ce dernier. La seconde étendue spatiale du ou des signaux de stimulation est différente de la première étendue spatiale du ou des signaux de facilitation.
