Use of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Predict and Measure Cochlear Implant Outcomes: A Scoping Review (2021)
Journal Article
Harrison, S. C., Lawrence, R., Hoare, D. J., Wiggins, I. M., & Hartley, D. E. H. (2021). Use of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Predict and Measure Cochlear Implant Outcomes: A Scoping Review. Brain Sciences, 11(11), Article 1439. https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci11111439

Outcomes following cochlear implantation vary widely for both adults and children, and behavioral tests are currently relied upon to assess this. However, these behavioral tests rely on subjective judgements that can be unreliable, particularly for i...

Investigating Cortical Responses to Noise-Vocoded Speech in Children with Normal Hearing Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) (2021)
Journal Article
Mushtaq, F., Wiggins, I. M., Kitterick, P. T., Anderson, C. A., & Hartley, D. E. (2021). Investigating Cortical Responses to Noise-Vocoded Speech in Children with Normal Hearing Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 22(6), 703-717. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10162-021-00817-z

Whilst functional neuroimaging has been used to investigate cortical processing of degraded speech in adults, much less is known about how these signals are processed in children. An enhanced understanding of cortical correlates of poor speech percep...
