Can You Hear Me Now?: Current Steering to Improve Hearing with a Cochlear Implant

Using only one neural stimulator can cause electrical current to spread and unintentionally activate other regions but multiple stimulators can "steer" current in the right path. Build a model of current steering in a cochlear implant (inner ear implant that restores hearing) to reduce distortion in samples of speech.
