Fidelity 120
Amber Gardner at UVa was nice enough to go ahead and upgrade Christopher’s software to the Fidelity 120 strategy recently released by Advanced Bionics. This strategy emulates 120 virtual channels on 12 physical electrodes by modulating the voltage between two adjacent electrodes. The quality is supposed to be a lot better, especially for music.
It’s great that we’re able to get the upgrade now. This means that he’ll have the new processing strategy for 2 months before we participate in a study in Madison, WI. Tina Grieco there is studying the language acquisition of kids with one versus two implants.
