Comparisons of the subjective loudness growth function and objective evoked compound action potential (ECAP) amplitude indicate that both functions are exponential in nature. This implies a more accurate estimate ECAP threshold would be obtained using regression instead currently used linear regression. The perceptual seem to approach each other when stimulation rate is lowered reduce temporal summation effects. effect on will have taken into account trying use for predicting threshold.
