Answer 32

Green check, yellow question mark, yellow X

Question 33

Whisper looked at what?

Answer 33

Paresthesia guided Subperception at frequencies lower then 1.2 kHz

Question 34

Whisper was the 1st RCT that studied previously implanted patients at < 1.2 kHz subp. T or F

Answer 34

True

Question 35

With fast, both anodes and cathodes are producing stimulations and we are steering 2 CPS’s. T or F

Answer 35

True

Question 36

Why don’t we increase PW with fast and tritate focus instead?

Answer 36

PW too high = over stim
PW too high = false paresthesia overlap
Focus provides broad and narrow coverage

Question 37

If we decrease (-) the focus in fast, what happens to the anode CPS compared to the cathode CPS? And what happens when we increase the focus (+)?

Answer 37

Decreasing= gets closer, becomes more narrow
Increase= moves further away, becomes more broad
