Embedding a thermoelectric generator (TEG) in a biological body is a promising way to
supply electronic power in the long term for an implantable medical device (IMD). It can …

Hearing impairment, the most prevalent sensory deficit, affects more than 466 million people
worldwide (WHO). We presently lack causative treatment for the most common form …

The ability to navigate “cocktail party” situations by focusing on sounds of interest over
irrelevant, background sounds is often considered in terms of cortical mechanisms …

A better understanding of the neural correlates of large variability in cochlear implant (CI)
patients' speech performance may allow us to find solutions to further improve CI benefits …

Cochlear implants are largely unable to encode voice pitch information, which hampers the
perception of some prosodic cues, such as intonation. This study investigated whether …

Children using cochlear implants (CIs) develop speech perception but have difficulty
perceiving complex acoustic signals. Mode and tempo are the two components used to …

Electrical neural stimulating electrodes play an important role in medical applications and
improving health/medical conditions. However, size reduction for low-invasive electrodes …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the music perception abilities of prelingually deaf children with
cochlear implants, in comparison to a group of normal-hearing children, and to consider the …

This paper presents a functional architecture, system level design, and electronic evaluation
of a unilateral vestibular prosthesis. The sensing unit of the prosthesis is a custom-designed …

In functional neuroimaging studies, task-related activity refers to the signal difference
between the stimulation and rest conditions. We asked whether long-term changes in the …
