Our research is focused on the cognitive and sensory aspects of hearing with a cochlear implant. The overall arching theme of the lab is to understand the neural processes of hearing with a a cochlear implant in order to develop technologies to improve the lives of people with cochelar implants. We will typically use high density EEG (electroencephalography) to help us […]
