Open Architecture Research Interface For Cochlear Implants

该项目将开发一种研究接口，为商用人工耳蜗植入部分提供灵活和便携的接口。将支持硬件和软件开发来创建该设备，该设备将被优化以供NIDCD神经假体研究界使用，以提供增强的记录、刺激和处理能力。在可能的情况下，硬件和软件设计都需要一个开放的系统架构，以提供设备操作的文档，并促进研究社区的持续改进。根据该合同，将开发一个适用于神经假体研究和开发的应用程序编程库，以生成源代码，这些源代码将被发布，以供广泛使用和进一步开发。

This project will develop a research interface that provides a flexible and portable interface to the implanted portion of a commercially available cochlear implant. Hardware and software development will be supported to create this device, which shall be optimized for use by the NIDCD neural prosthesis research community to provide enhanced recording, stimulating and processing capabilities. An open system architecture will be required for both hardware and software designs, where possible, to provide documentation of device operation and facilitate continued enhancement by the research community. An application programming library suitable for neural prosthesis research and development will be developed under this contract to produce source code that will be released for widespread use and further development.
