Objective Functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging noninvasive
technology used to study cerebral cortex activity. Being virtually silent and compatible with …

Functional neuroimaging can provide insight into the neurobiological factors that contribute
to the variations in individual hearing outcomes following cochlear implantation. To date …

Much of what is known about the course of auditory learning in following cochlear
implantation is based on behavioral indicators that users are able to perceive sound. Both …

While many individuals can benefit substantially from cochlear implantation, the ability to
perceive and understand auditory speech with a cochlear implant (CI) remains highly …

Cochlear implants (CI) are commonly used to treat deafness in young children. While many
factors influence the ability of a deaf child who is hearing through a CI to develop speech …

Introduction Cochlear implantation is currently the most successful intervention for severe-to-
profound sensorineural hearing loss, particularly in deaf infants and children. Nonetheless …

Outcomes following cochlear implantation vary widely for both adults and children, and
behavioral tests are currently relied upon to assess this. However, these behavioral tests …

Background: Speech understanding may rely not only on auditory, but also on visual
information. Non-invasive functional neuroimaging techniques can expose the neural …

Objectives Phantom sound perception (tinnitus) may arise from altered brain activity within
auditory cortex. Auditory cortex neurons in tinnitus animal models show increased …

Evidence from functional neuroimaging studies suggests that the auditory cortex can
become more responsive to visual and somatosensory stimulation following deafness, and …
