Researchers study how cochlear implants affect brain circuits

Cochlear implants have helped many people hear, but not all kids take to them well. UC Davis researchers are using EEG scans of deaf and hearing children to look at how using the implants affects the ‘balance of power’ between brain areas. Ultimately the work could lead to interventions that help kids better adapt to using cochlear implants.
