Neural survival mapping

Abstract

Presented herein techniques for generating a neural survival map of neural tissue adjacent a body cavity of a recipient of an implantable medical device comprising an implantable stimulating assembly. For example, during insertion of the implantable stimulating assembly into the recipient, the implantable medical device captures a plurality of evoked responses of neural tissue adjacent to body cavity of, as well as a plurality of intra-operative measurements associated with the implantable stimulating assembly. A computing device is configured to use plurality of intra-operative measurements to determine a plurality of position estimates of the implantable stimulating assembly relative to the body cavity. The computing device uses the plurality of evoked responses and the plurality of position estimates to generate a neural survival map of the neural tissue adjacent to the body cavity.
