This paper tries to distill some of the ‘lessons learned’ from the Charles Babbage Institute’s quarter-century experience (1980-present) in organizing the history of computing. It draws on the author’s (recent) experience as CBI director; conversations with Arthur Norberg, CBI’s long-time founding director; and papers delivered at a special symposium appraising CBI’s role in computing history, ...

Initial results with the two-formant speech-processing strategy (FOFIF2) confirm the advantage of a multichannel cochlear prosthesis capable of stimulating at different sites within the cochlea. The successful presentation of two spectral components by varying the place of stimulation leads to the possibility of presenting further spectral information in this manner. Because virtually all multi...

Recently we developed an analog model to simulate Alexander's law in nystagmus secondary to dysfunction of a semicircular canal. Alexander's law is based on the observation that the amplitude of the nystagmus grows with increasing gaze in the direction of the fast phase and diminishes with gaze in the opposite direction. To investigate the assumptions made in the model, we conducted quantitativ...
