A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

A Computational Model of the Electrically or Acoustically Evoked Compound Action Potential in Cochlear Implant Users with Residual Hearing [PDF]

open access: yes
Objective: In cochlear implant users with residual acoustic hearing, compound action potentials (CAPs) can be evoked by acoustic (aCAP) or electric (eCAP) stimulation and recorded through the electrodes of the implant. We propose a novel computational model to simulate aCAPs and eCAPs in humans, considering the interaction between combined electric ...

Neural electrodes for brain‐computer interface system: From rigid to soft

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Here, we review the development trends of neural electrodes in BCI. This paper highlights the critical role of electrodes in BCI systems, analyzes the limitations of rigid electrodes, and introduces various flexible electrodes. Furthermore, we discuss application scenarios and prospects of BCI electrode technology, aiming to provide valuable references

F‐actin in the cuticular plate and junctions of auditory hair cells is regulated by ADF and cofilin to allow for normal stereocilia bundle patterning and maintenance

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
Abstract Auditory hair cells, which convert sound‐induced vibrations in the inner ear into neural signals, depend on multiple actin populations for normal function. Stereocilia are mechanosensory protrusions formed around a core of linear, crosslinked F‐actin.

Robust Cochlear Modiolar Axis Detection in CT [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
The cochlea, the auditory part of the inner ear, is a spiral-shaped organ with large morphological variability. An individualized assessment of its shape is essential for clinical applications related to tonotopy and cochlear implantation. To unambiguously reference morphological parameters, reliable recognition of the cochlear modiolar axis in ...

The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of cochlear implants for severe to profound deafness in children and adults: a systematic review and economic model

open access: yesHealth Technology Assessment, 2009
Objectives: To investigate whether it is clinically effective and cost-effective to provide (i) a unilateral cochlear implant for severely to profoundly deaf people (using or not using hearing aids), and (ii) a bilateral cochlear implant for severely to ...

A Single-Processor Approach to Speech Processing Pipeline of Bilateral Cochlear Implants [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
This dissertation covers a single-processor approach to the speech processing pipeline of bilateral Cochlear Implants (CIs). The use of only a single processor to provide binaural stimulation signals overcomes the synchronization problem, which is an existing challenging problem in the deployment of bilateral CI devices.

Applications and Challenges of Auditory Brain‐Computer Interfaces in Objective Auditory Assessments for Pediatric Cochlear Implants

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Auditory brain‐computer interface connects the brain with external devices and decodes neural signals related to auditory perception. Time‐domain and frequency‐domain analyses are commonly used to identify biomarkers associated with auditory rehabilitation, such as cortical auditory evoked potentials and mismatch negativity.
