Time‐Domain Measurements of Cochlear Nonlinearities Using Combination Click Stimuli

Z-Scan Measurements of Optical Nonlinearities

Using a combination of click- and tone burst-evoked auditory brain stem response measurements to estimate pure-tone thresholds.

DESIGN A retrospective medical record review of evoked potential and audiometric data were used to determine the accuracy with which click-evoked and tone burst-evoked auditory brain stem response (ABR) thresholds predict pure-tone audiometric thresholds. METHODS The medical records were reviewed of a consecutive group of patients who were referred for ABR testing for audiometric purposes ove...

Medial Geniculate Units to Binaural Click Stimuli

Long duration stimuli and nonlinearities in the neural-haemodynamic coupling.

Recent studies have shown that the haemodynamic responses to brief (<2 secs) stimuli can be well characterised as a linear convolution of neural activity with a suitable haemodynamic impulse response. In this paper, we show that the linear convolution model cannot predict measurements of blood flow responses to stimuli of longer duration (>2 secs), regardless of the impulse response function ch...

Quality of Life Measurements after Cochlear Implantation

Cochlear implantation has a remarkable impact on the social life, activities and self-esteem of each patient. In order to objectify this comprehensive effect the term quality of life has been introduced. Various questionnaires have been developed to assess the quality of life in such patients. In a review of the literature several generic and disease specific quality of life questionnaires were...
