Pulse processing device and method of associating pulse-related wavelet coefficients to a corresponding reference pulse shape

A method of sorting coefficients associated to a pulsed signal, the method comprising:

• sampling a pulsed signal, including generating an array of amplitude values;
• performing a discrete transform using said amplitude values of said array, including generating an array of coefficients indicative of an energy distribution of said pulsed signal, wherein a number of said coefficients is smaller than a number of said amplitude values;
• and
• sorting said coefficients using a tree sorting algorithm, said tree sorting algorithm finding a maximal one of said coefficients and an Nth maximal one of said coefficients, including generating a sparse array of said coefficients consisting of said maximal one of said coefficients, said Nth maximal one of said coefficients and any coefficients therebetween, including the relative position of the coefficients relative to one another.

A method of stimulating a pulse generating entity, the method comprising:

• implanting a probe head within the pulse generating entity, the probe head having a stimulation element and an electrode;
• during a given time window, the electrode collecting a corresponding plurality of electrical signals;
• and
• upon associating at least a threshold number of said electrical signals to a common reference pulse shape, stimulating the pulse generating entity using the stimulation element, including generating a stimulation signal within the pulse generating entity.
