Abstract: Cochlear implants (CIs) are among the most established neuromodulation devices, providing auditory perception through electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. While conventional stimulation strategies rely on symmetric biphasic rectangular pulses, alternative pulse shapes may offer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/2331216518774450
Abstract: We report the fabrication and characterization of a prototype polyvinylidene fluoride polymer-based implantable microphone for detecting sound inside gerbil and human cochleae. With the current configuration and amplification, the signal-to-noise ratios were sufficiently high for… read more here.
