A method of enhancing temporal cues in a cochlear implant system is presented. The cochlear implant system includes an electrode array in which each electrode is stimulated based on a stimulation sequence of pulses. The method includes deriving signal c(t) from an acoustic representative electrical signal, the signal c(t) including low frequency temporal information. An estimate of spectral energy e(t) is derived from the acoustic representative electrical signal, the signal e(t) including spectral information with substantially no pitch related temporal information. The stimulation sequence is created for at least one electrode in the array as a function of c(t) and e(t).
