ACTive Implant for Optoacoustic Natural sound enhancement (ACTION)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
The ACTION project builds on the recent discovery that relatively low levels of pulsed infrared laser light are capable of triggering activity in hair cells of the partially hearing (hearing impaired) cochlea and vestibule. So far the excessively large volume of optical fibre systems and external light sources used for animal studies prevented the practical use of this discovery for long term anim ...

NINE-AXIS INERTIAL SENSOR BASED ON PIEZORESISTIVE NANO-GAUGE DETECTION (NIRVANA)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,
With the recent introduction of MEMS in consumer applications (mobile phone, gaming...) the market for low cost and low power consumption multi-axis inertial sensors has boomed over the last five years. These sensors have generated huge business opportunities, with $M.1900 revenues in 2009 at the MEMS level. Beyond consumer applications, there are many other growing mass market applications like I ...

Neurotrophic Cochlear Implant for Severe Hearing Loss (NeuEar)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Sixteen percent of adult Europeans suffer from hearing loss, great enough to adversely affect their daily life. Over the age of 80, 50% of the population is suffering from hearing loss. A large portion of this population is affected by sensoryneural hearing loss (SNHL), a consequence of a progressive degeneration of the primary auditory neurons (ANs), the afferent neurons of the cochlea. These ANs ...

High-resolution image-based computational inner ear modelling for surgical planning of cochlear implantation (HEAR-EU)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
"Cochlear implantation is a surgical procedure that aims to overcome hearing loss by direct electrical stimulation of the spiral ganglion cells in the cochlea of the inner ear. The surgical scenario of implantation surgery is very complex. It requires high clinical expertise in order to 1) efficiently access the surgical site, the cochlea, localize nearby critical structures (e.g. facial nerve) an ...
