Near physiological spectral selectivity of cochlear optogenetics
Nature Communications, 2019 Cochlear implant spectral resolution is limited by current spread from each stimulation electrode. Here the authors compare optogenetic, electric and acoustic stimulation in gerbils and demonstrate improved spectral resolution of optogenetic over ...
