The MRI findings were interpreted as signs of an inflammatory process in the cochlea. Such
a process can lead to soft tissue formation or even ossification of the cochlea, making the …

Platinum (Pt) is the metal of choice for electrodes in implantable neural prostheses like the
cochlear implants, deep brain stimulating devices, and brain-computer interfacing …

A phenomenon called vestibular compensation occurs after peripheral vestibular loss. This
process involves a mosaic of profound structural rearrangements within the vestibular …

The accelerating race of digital computing technologies seems to be steering towards
impasses—technological, economical and environmental—a condition that has spurred …

Cochlear implants (CIs) electrically stimulate spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) and partially
restore hearing to half a million CI users. However, wide current spread from intracochlear …

Background: The outcome of cochlear implantation has improved over the last decades, but
there are still patients with less benefit. Despite numerous studies examining the cochlear …

Bioelectronic devices, interfacing neural tissue for therapeutic, diagnostic, or rehabilitation
purposes, rely on small electrode contacts in order to achieve highly sophisticated …

Optogenetic tools, providing non‐invasive control over selected cells, have the potential to
revolutionize sensory prostheses for humans. Optogenetic stimulation of spiral ganglion …

In cochlear implant surgery, insertion of perimodiolar electrode arrays into the scala tympani
can be complicated by trauma or even accidental translocation of the electrode array within …

Monkeys are a premier model organism for neuroscience research. Activity in the central
nervous systems of monkeys can be recorded and manipulated while they perform complex …
