Genetic Algorithm Based Auditory Training

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to the use of a genetic algorithm for the purpose of providing progressive and adaptive auditory training (rehabilitation) to a recipient of a hearing prosthesis. In general, the genetic algorithm is used to adapt the training process to automatically increase the difficulty of the training based on recipient feedback and performance. That is, the genetic algorithm progressively removes perceivable sounds from the training process so as to generate groups of sounds that are difficult for a recipient to perceive.

主权项

1. An auditory training system, comprising:
a user interface; and a processor configured to:
present an initial set of auditory training sound tokens to a recipient of a hearing prosthesis;receive recipient feedback in response to presented sound tokens from the initial set of auditory training sound tokens, wherein the feedback indicates the recipient's perception of the presented sound tokens; andexecute an interactive augmented genetic algorithm to automatically increase the difficulty of the auditory training based on the recipient's perception of the presented sound tokens to create a second set of auditory sound tokens for presentation to the recipient.
