Neural signals can be generated or blocked by extracellular electrodes or magnetic coils.
New results about artificial excitation are based on a compartmental model of a target …

The external ear or pinna (auricle) collects sound, which passes along the external auditory
canal to the eardrum (tympanic membrane)(Fig. 2.1). The middle ear (tympanum) is a cavity …

The goals of this study were to derive a frequency–position function for the human cochlear
spiral ganglion (SG) to correlate represented frequency along the organ of Corti (OC) to …

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate evoked potential and single fibre
responses to biphasic current pulses in animals with varying degrees of cochlear pathology …

Differences in neural geometry and the fact that the soma of the human cochlear neuron
typically is not myelinated are reasons for disagreements between single fiber recordings in …

This paper investigates the spatial resolution of electrical intracochlear stimulation in order
to enable further refinement of cochlear implants. For this purpose electrical potential …

Since the 1970s, computational modeling has been used to investigate the fundamental
mechanisms of cochlear implant stimulation. Lumped parameter models and analytical …

Objective The study investigated the hypothesis that threshold and comfortable levels
recorded from cochlear implant patients would reduce, and dynamic range increase, as …

A simplified spiraled model of the human cochlea is developed from a cross sectional
photograph. The potential distribution within this model cochlea is calculated with the finite …

Cochlear implants (CIs) provide acoustic information to implanted patients by electrically
stimulating nearby auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) which then transmit the information to higher …
