Using musical pitch interval comparisons to assess cochlear implant frequency-to-place maps by Rebecca M. Lewis, Melanie L. Gilbert, Jordan A. Beim, Andrew J. Oxenham, Charles J. Limb

“…We hypothesized that the vocoded stimuli would be more difficult to match in terms of pitch intervals than unprocessed stimuli, and that a warped map (as may occur with current clinical maps) would produce poorer matches than a veridical and well-aligned map (as may be achieved using FPCT-based frequency allocation).ResultsPreliminary results suggest that the task can reveal differences between veridical and warped maps in normal-hearing listeners under vocoded conditions. …”
