Transcranial Electric Stimulation

Asif Rahman, Davide Reato, Abhishek Datta, Lucas Parra, Marom Bikson (CUNY) Synaptic pathway and orientation specific modulation of neuronal excitability by weak direct current Transcranial direct current stimulation, a clinical technique explored for noninvasive neuromodulation, is thought to induce polarity-specific lasting change in cortical excitability. However, the mechanisms of DC stimul...

The Sound Sensation of Apical Electric Stimulation in Cochlear Implant Recipients with Contralateral Residual Hearing

BACKGROUND Studies using vocoders as acoustic simulators of cochlear implants have generally focused on simulation of speech understanding, gender recognition, or music appreciation. The aim of the present experiment was to study the auditory sensation perceived by cochlear implant (CI) recipients with steady electrical stimulation on the most-apical electrode. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...

The Cochlear Implant

The studies on cochlear implants have been conducted in the United States, Austria, Brasil, France, Finland, and some other countries. Up to now, this technique does not seem to have a wide spread application. Indeed it can only apply cases of deafness still presenting sufficient neural remnants to transmit the message. Moreover, the patient must be totally deaf( quasi­ complete loss of har cel...
