Refractory periods
In addition, a study has been conducted about the distribution of refractory periods for the neuronal population that takes part in the generation of this potential. In the average patient, the value of the refractory period of the fastest neuron is about 0.8ms and half of the neurons have a refractory period lower than 1.5ms. It has been found that, as the auditory experience of the patient increases, the refractory period of the neurons that takes part in it decreases down to a stable value, that is reached 3-4 months after the start up of the voice processor.
