Topic: sensory restoration

Cochlear implants (CIs) are neural prostheses that enable severely hearing-impaired to understand speech. However, outcome is highly variable and multimodal training strategies including haptic stimulation might contribute to this aim. Given that the temporal cortex has been shown to be necessary for vibrotactile temporal discrimination, we aimed to investigate the impact of hearing loss and restoration on vibrotactile perception in adults.Therefore, we conducted a 32-channel EEG during a passive perception task and two oddball tasks using a standard stimulus (250 Hz, 100 ms) and a target with
