A Neurophysiological Study of Musical Pitch Identification in Mandarin-Speaking Cochlear Implant Users

Neural Plasticity, 2020
Music perception in cochlear implant (CI) users is far from satisfactory, not only because of the technological limitations of current CI devices but also due to the neurophysiological alterations that generally accompany deafness.
