DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The cochlear implant is the first neural prosthesis to achieve the technical success necessary for widespread clinical application. It provides the only effective therapy for restoring sound sensation and speech understanding to the profoundly deaf. Over the past 20 years dramatic improvements in patients' performance with these devices have been achieved. Currently the average speech understanding score for implanted adults is between 80-100% correct. These advances have derived substantially from the collective efforts of researchers in a broad array of scientific disciplines. This close collaboration and cooperation has been fostered in large part through a series of biennial research conferences, originating with the 1983 Gordon Research Conference on Implantable Auditory Prostheses. These conferences are the only forum in which implant research issues are the sole focus. Topics to receive emphasis in this meeting are the coding of pitch and music, and the effects of CMS plasticity and learning. Complex pitch and music have proven to be particularly difficult to convey in a cochlear implant. Recent studies have started to elicidate the underlying neuroscience of complex pitch. Learning and plasticity have long been complex issues surrounding hearing aids and implants. A special session will explore the time course and neurological data of plasticity and learning as it applies to cochlear implants. In addition to these topics we will examine the latest research on (1) binaural processing, (2) combined acoustic (low frequency) and electric (high frequency) hearing, (3) channel interaction, (4) signal processing and speech in noise, (5) coding of pitch and music perception, (6) perceptual organization of speech, (7) electrode technology and design, (8) cochlear implants in children, (9) CNS plasticity and cognitive factors, and (10) future prostheses. In summary, the conference will continue the tradition of combining information from a wide range of disciplines in an effort to better understand electrical stimulation of the cochlea and to improve the performance of patients fitted with cochlear implants. This application seeks partial support for this conference, scheduled at the Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, CA July 30 to August 4, 2005.

描述（由申请人提供）：人工耳蜗是第一个获得广泛临床应用所必需的技术成功的神经假体。它提供了唯一有效的治疗恢复声音感觉和语言理解的深度聋人。在过去的20年里，使用这些设备的患者的表现得到了显著的改善。目前，植入人工智能的成年人的平均言语理解得分在80-100%之间。这些进步在很大程度上源于广泛科学学科的研究人员的集体努力。这种密切的合作在很大程度上是通过一系列两年一次的研究会议来促进的，这些会议始于1983年戈登植入式听觉假体研究会议。这些会议是唯一的论坛，其中植入研究问题是唯一的焦点。本次会议的重点议题是音高和音乐的编码，以及CMS的可塑性和学习效果。复杂的音高和音乐已经被证明是特别难以通过人工耳蜗传递的。最近的研究已经开始揭示复杂音高的潜在神经科学。长期以来，学习和可塑性一直是围绕助听器和植入物的复杂问题。一个特别的会议将探讨可塑性和学习的时间过程和神经学数据，因为它适用于人工耳蜗。除此之外，我们还将探讨以下方面的最新研究：(1)双耳加工，(2)声学（低频）和电（高频）联合听觉，(3)通道相互作用，(4)噪声中的信号处理和语音，(5)音高和音乐感知编码，(6)语音感知组织，(7)电极技术和设计，(8)儿童人工耳蜗，(9)中枢神经系统可塑性和认知因素，以及（10）未来假肢。总之，这次会议将延续传统，结合来自广泛学科的信息，努力更好地理解耳蜗的电刺激，并提高耳蜗植入患者的表现。本申请为本次会议寻求部分支持，会议定于2005年7月30日至8月4日在加利福尼亚州太平洋格罗夫的Asilomar会议中心举行。
