Cochlear Implants (CI) have been successful at restoring meaningful hearing perception in many deaf patients. However, rehabilitation for patients with damaged auditory nerves are scarce: the only alternative is the Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI), which presents poor clinical outcomes and difficult surgical approach.Here, we propose to target the auditory cortex directly, using a soft auditory cortex implant, for hearing restoration. By leveraging microfabrication techniques, we developed soft Electrocorticography (ECoG) arrays that would conform the curvilinear surface of the cortex, suppor
