Study Outcomes of Cochlear Implant
The NL3 Lab starts a new study investigating outcomes for cochlear implant. This study aims to use brain image to identify neural predictors of outcomes for a cochlear implant. The neural predictors may provide a more comprehensive understanding of individual variability in CI outcomes and thus more reliably inform prognosis. More info
Understanding the Reading Brain
The NL3 Lab starts a new study of the reading brain in children with and without hearing loss. Based on current behavioral studies, it remains unknown whether children with hearing loss (CHL) use neural processes that are similar to those used by children with typical hearing (CTH) while learning to read. The specific neural…
