摘要：
The present invention concerns a device for electrical stimulation of neural and/or muscular tissue, the device comprising a cochlear implant (1) being equipped with a power source, a speech processor (1.1.2), a microphone (1.1.1) adapted to deliver sound signals to said speech processor (1.1.2), a current stimulator (1.2.1), at least an array of electrodes (1.2.2) attached to the stimulator (1.2.1), and at least a signal sensor (2) other than said microphone (1.1.1), the device further comprising a signal transformation unit (3), said signal sensors (2) being adapted to capture relevant input information and to deliver a corresponding input signal (3.2.1) to the transformation unit (3), the latter allowing to transform said input signal (3.2.1) received from the signal sensors (2) into a modulated electrical output signal (3.10.1) adapted to be treated by the speech processor (1.1.2) of the cochlear implant (1). The invention also concerns a corresponding method for electrical stimulation of neural and/or muscular tissue.
