Abstract :
The evaluation of the global chain combining the electrical processing (cochlear implant) and the physiological processing can be efficiently achieved using a reverse model. The advantage of such a method is to measure the quality of speech processing technique for cochlear implant without needing implanted patients. This paper deals with an inverse processing technique presented as a powerful methodology for improving speech processing.
