Channel Interaction During Infrared Light Stimulation in the Cochlea.
Aditi AgarwalXiaodong TanYingyue XuClaus-Peter RichterPublished in: Lasers in surgery and medicine (2021)
The interaction between neighboring optical sources during infrared laser stimulation is less than the interaction between neighboring electrical contacts during electrical stimulation. Previously published data for electrical stimulation reported an average current spread in human and cat cochleae of 2.8 dB/mm. With the increased number of independent channels for optical stimulation, it is anticipated that speech and music performance will improve. Lasers Surg. Med. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
