Encoding Temporal Fine Structure for Cochlear Implants
Who can join
Ages 18 and older · All sexes · Healthy volunteers welcome
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Cochlear implant users. Exclusion Criteria: * Younger than 18 years.
About the study
The goal of this study is to improve music and speech perception for cochlear implant users. Presently, most cochlear implants discard the temporal fine structure of sound, which is information that is widely believed to contribute to both music and speech perception. The proposed work examines perceptual and physiological changes that occur once this information is provided to cochlear implant users in a clear and consistent manner.
