DECREASING THE PHYSICAL GAP IN THE NEURAL-ELECTRODE INTERFACE AND RELATED CONCEPTS TO IMPROVE COCHLEAR IMPLANT PERFORMANCE

Decreasing the physical gap in the neural-electrode interface and related concepts to improve cochlear implant performance

Cochlear implants (CI) represent incredible devices that restore hearing perception for those with moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss.However, the ability of a CI to restore complex auditory function is limited by the number of perceptually independent spectral channels provided.A major contributor to this limitation is the physical ga

Design and Testing of a Compact Optical Prism Module for Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Grating Interferometry Application

In this research, a key optical component for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) surface encoder was designed, fabricated and evaluated.In a MDOF grating interferometry system, there are four diffraction beams from a two-axis scale grating and Cyclone Cone Filter reference grating, respectively.For further modulation, these beams will propagate more th
