The early contributions of the UCSF cochlear implant (CI) research team to the development of multiple-channel cochlear implants from about 1971 through the mid-1980s are briefly summarized. Scientists at UCSF conducted fundamental studies related to device safety, the control of patterned electrical stimulation, and the designs of intracochlear electrode arrays, coders, and implanted multiple-channel electrode drivers. They conducted many original studies documenting parameters of hearing with cochlear implants relevant to next-generation CI designs. On these bases, the UCSF team constructed early models of multichannel devices that were progenitors of the Advanced Bionics' Clarion CI. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled
本文简要总结了从1971年左右到20世纪80年代中期,加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)人工耳蜗(CI)研究团队对多通道人工耳蜗发展所做出的早期贡献。UCSF的科学家们开展了与设备安全、模式化电刺激控制以及耳蜗内电极阵列、编码器和植入式多通道电极驱动器设计相关的基础研究。他们进行了许多原创性研究,记录了与下一代CI设计相关的人工耳蜗听力参数。在此基础上,UCSF团队构建了早期的多通道设备模型,这些模型是先进生物科技公司(Advanced Bionics)Clarion CI的前身。本文是名为《拉斯克奖》特刊的一部分。
