In der Optogenetik, einer Kombination aus Optik und Genetik, werden Zellen durch genetische Manipulation lichtempfindlich, sodass Zellfunktionen gezielt durch Licht gesteuert, Krankheiten analysiert und neue Ansätze für ...

Several research groups have reported studies on the insertion force measurement at different cochlear implant electrodes. So far, all experimental setups to measure the forces applied to the electrode outside the cochlea ...

The removal of the cochlear implant (CI), which in some cases is without alternative, is still an act of simple pulling, not only causing harm for the patient by damaging tissue but also making reimplantation more difficult. ...

We describe a new signal processing technique for cochlear implants using a psychoacoustic-masking model. The technique is based on the principle of a so-called "NofM" strategy. These strategies stimulate fewer channels ...
