cochclear implant
Stuck with this one, for a cochlear implant many thanks
30 Se detecta y verifica la existencia de una o varias diagonales secundarias de la matriz.
En algunas implementaciones, la diagonal secundaria se puede detectar por:
Desviación estándar;
Búsqueda de pendientes positivas en el potencial;
Búsqueda de cambio de pendiente en el potencial;
Localización de máximos;
Búsqueda de pendientes positivas en el potencial;
Búsqueda de cambio de pendiente en el potencial;
En caso de tener una diagonal secundaria, se verifica que existe un Fold-Over, y se
5 define como el punto o puntos de dobladura el cruce entre la diagonal primaria(se entiende diagonal primara aquella en la que el electrodo que es estimulado y el que percibe el potencial es el mismo) y la secundaria.

location of peaks / peak location
This is what the wording suggests to me, but I'd be lying if I said I have even half an idea about what this means. You'll probably be able to say if this is at all relevant.
Fourth, even if there was a sufficient number of electrodes to sufficiently encode spectral cues, many CIs use monopolar stimulation, which can excite nearly 1/8 of the cochlea per electrode (Nelson et al., 2008). Spectral smearing from current spread reduces or removes the ability of CI listeners to detect spectral cues (Henry et al., 2005; Anderson et al., 2011; Won et al., 2011; Azadpour and McKay, 2012). Goupell et al. (2008) investigated the ability of CI users to detect different spectral profiles, which is a prerequisite skill for vertical-plane localization. In three separate experiments, CI listeners discriminated the existence of spectral peaks and notches, the height of peaks and depth of notches, and the electrode location of peaks and notches.

Finding functional maxima
I think Robert Carter and Pablo Cruz Font may well be right with "location of peaks / peak location". Comparing Wikipedia entries in Spanish and English for functional extremes, maybe "finding functional maxima" could be another alternative.
