which explicitly steers current to
increase the number of stimulation sites,
and
delivers the corresponding temporal fine structure.

In this short sample of music the frequency components are shown to be varying in a lively and smooth manner.
A fixed electrode array is unable to adequately represent this movement of frequency relative to the place in the cochlea.
With HiRes120 the electrical field is able to move freely or dance between electrodes to better follow the movements in the original signal.
