Brain stem encoding of Fundamental frequency in Cochlear Implant users

The current works of us enlightens the reader with pitch perception and its neural correlates in normal hearers and in individuals with cochlear implants. Perception of fundamental frequency remains as an important area in speech perception. With cochlear implant, not only that the individual process and perceive sound different from that of other hearing impaired, also they perceive different from normal hearers. Thus, this study probes the encoding of fundamental frequency in cochlear implants in comparison to normal hearers.

Ganapathy.M.K, is currently pursuing his doctoral programme at All India Institute of Speech and Hearing and has completed his Masters from Manipal University. His main research interest is on electrophysiological responses, and my current interest is in understanding how speech sounds are represented in the brain of normal and clinical population
