| Announcing a talk at NAL |
| Presenter |
Bram Van Dun, Senior Research Electrophysiologist, NAL |
| Title |
New project: Estimating thresholds at individual cochlear implant (CI) electrodes using cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) recorded with a clinical EEG system (ie. HEARLab) |
| Date |
Tuesday 4 October 2016 |
| Time |
10:00am |
| Description |
This talk will first present some background on the need for alternative ways to fit cochlear implants opposed to what is currently being employed in the CI clinic. It will then provide a selected overview on the work that has been conducted already, both at NAL and in the literature re the use of CAEPs for threshold estimation in CI users (and how to deal with inevitable CI artefacts). Finally, a research methodology is proposed to compare between thresholds obtained at individual CI electrodes behaviourally, and those derived from CAEPs using the two-channel clinical HEARLab system. This project is in its conceptual stage, so any feedback on the proposed research methodology is welcome! |
