In the present study, masking was examined with four Nucleus24 users with the banded electrode array in an interleaved masking paradigm, where a probe stimulus was interleaved with a masker stimulus."
"Spatial and temporal aspects of masking were addressed by fixing the masker at the middle of the electrode array and changing the location of the probe and by testing various stimulation rates: 125, 500, 2,000, and 6,410 Hz. In...
