Quantitative optical nanophysiology of Ca2+ signaling at inner hair cell active zones
Nature Communications, 2018 Quantitatively studying components of the presynapse requires high resolution optical methods. Here the authors use confocal microscopy as well as 2D- and 3D-STED nanoscopy to quantify the number and activity of active zone Ca2+ channels in inner hair ...

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2022 When hearing fails, electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) partially restore hearing by direct stimulation of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). As light can be better confined in space than electrical current, optical CIs (oCIs) provide more spectral ...

Bioresorbable and Wireless Rechargeable Implanted Na‐ion Battery for Temporary Medical Devices
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An all‐solid‐state bioresorbable Na‐ion battery is developed, composed entirely of bio‐eliminable materials. In vivo and ex vivo tests confirmed harmless disintegration of this implanted battery. Lifetime of the implanted battery can be precisely controlled by adjusting the dissolvable encapsulation layer's thickness.

Deep Neural Networks on EEG Signals to Predict Auditory Attention Score Using Gramian Angular Difference Field [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Auditory attention is a selective type of hearing in which people focus their attention intentionally on a specific source of a sound or spoken words whilst ignoring or inhibiting other auditory stimuli. In some sense, the auditory attention score of an individual shows the focus the person can have in auditory tasks.

The impact of visual gaze direction on auditory object tracking
Scientific Reports, 2017 Subjective experience suggests that we are able to direct our auditory attention independent of our visual gaze, e.g when shadowing a nearby conversation at a cocktail party. But what are the consequences at the behavioural and neural level?

Acoustic Noise of MRI Scans of the Internal Auditory Canal and Potential for Intracochlear Physiological Changes [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used medical imaging technique to assess the health of the auditory (vestibulocochlear) nerve. A well known problem with MRI machines is that the acoustic noise they generate during a scan can cause auditory temporary threshold shifts (TTS) in humans.

A point process framework for modeling electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve [PDF]
, 2012 Model-based studies of auditory nerve responses to electrical stimulation can provide insight into the functioning of cochlear implants. Ideally, these studies can identify limitations in sound processing strategies and lead to improved methods for providing sound information to cochlear implant users.
