Towards the optical cochlear implant: optogenetic approaches for hearing restoration
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020 Cochlear implants (CIs) are considered the most successful neuroprosthesis as they enable speech comprehension in the majority of half a million CI users suffering from sensorineural hearing loss.

En route to sound coding strategies for optical cochlear implants
iScience, 2023 Summary: Hearing loss is the most common human sensory deficit. Severe-to-complete sensorineural hearing loss is often treated by electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) bypassing dysfunctional or lost hair cells by direct stimulation of the auditory nerve ...

Auditory Distractors in the Visual Modality: No Evidence for Perceptual Load Hypothesis or Auditory Dominance [PDF]
, 2020 Attention is a valuable resource with limited capacity, so knowing what will distract us during important tasks can be crucial in life. There is a lot of support for the Perceptual Load Hypothesis (PLH) when examining visual distractibility; however,

The left superior temporal gyrus is a shared substrate for auditory short-term memory and speech comprehension: evidence from 210 patients with stroke [PDF]
, 2009 Competing theories of short-term memory function make specific predictions about the functional anatomy of auditory short-term memory and its role in language comprehension. We analysed high-resolution structural magnetic resonance images from 210 stroke

A silent two-photon imaging system for studying in vivo auditory neuronal functions
Light: Science & Applications, 2022 Silent two-photon imaging is demonstrated with non-mechanical AOD scanners. Video-rate recordings in auditory cortex of awake marmoset monkeys reveal neuronal functions at unprecedented low sound levels.

Auditory and non-auditory effects of noise on health [PDF]
The Lancet, 2014 Noise is pervasive in everyday life and can cause both auditory and non-auditory health effects. Noise-induced hearing loss remains highly prevalent in occupational settings, and is increasingly caused by social noise exposure (eg, through personal music players).

Intertrial auditory neural stability supports beat synchronization in preschoolers
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2016 The ability to synchronize motor movements along with an auditory beat places stringent demands on the temporal processing and sensorimotor integration capabilities of the nervous system.

Auditory Discrimination and Auditory Sensory Behaviours in Autism Spectrum Disorders [PDF]
, 2009 It has been hypothesised that auditory processing may be enhanced in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We tested auditory discrimination ability in 72 adolescents with ASD (39 childhood autism; 33 other ASD) and 57 IQ and age-matched controls, assessing ...

Effects of congenital hearing loss and cochlear implantation on audiovisual speech perception in infants and children [PDF]
, 2010 Purpose: Cochlear implantation has recently become available as an intervention strategy for young children with profound hearing impairment. In fact, infants as young as 6 months are now receiving cochlear implants (CIs), and even younger infants are ...
