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）：人工耳蜗植入体是第一个获得广泛临床应用所需技术成功的神经假体。它是恢复深度聋患者声音感觉和言语理解能力的唯一有效疗法。在过去的20年里，这些设备已经实现了患者性能的显着改善。目前，植入的成年人的平均语言理解得分在80-100%之间。这些进展在很大程度上来自广泛科学学科研究人员的集体努力。这种密切的协作与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年的戈登植入式听觉假体研究会议。这些会议是唯一的论坛，其中种植体研究问题是唯一的焦点。本次会议重点讨论的主题是音高和音乐的编码，以及CMS可塑性和学习的影响。复杂的音高和音乐已经被证明在人工耳蜗中特别难以传达。最近的研究已经开始揭示复杂音高的神经科学基础。学习和可塑性长期以来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植入。除了这些主题之外，我们还将研究（1）双耳处理，（2）组合声学（低频）和电动（高频）听力，（3）通道相互作用，（4）噪声中的信号处理和语音，（5）音高和音乐感知的编码，（6）语音的感知组织，（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，（10）未来的假体。总之，会议将继续结合来自广泛学科的信息的传统，以更好地理解耳蜗的电刺激，并提高安装人工耳蜗植入体的患者的性能。本申请寻求对定于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会议中心举行的本次会议的部分支持。
