Researchers at the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Davis Center for Mind and Brain, supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, are studying how deaf children with cochlear implants use various brain areas to process sound. The goal is to come up with interventions that will help children better adapt to the implants.</p> June 30, 2016 - 12:25pm Andy Fell /news/researchers-study-how-cochlear-implants-affect-brain-circuits
