A phenomenological model of the neural response to pulsatile electrical stimulation: a novel approach and theoretical considerations

Cochlear implants stimulate the spiral ganglion cells (SGCs) with trains of charge-balanced current pulses. How the SGCs respond has often been studied with the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model. However, while the LIF model partially reproduces how SGCs respond to monophasic pulses, which are no...
