"Testing the perceptual limits of acoustic and electric hearing in children using cochlear implants"

The scientific way of doing this project is to use psychophysics. Unfortunately, psychophysics are boring and because of this, typically only adults can be tested. We are developing a video game to attempt to do this testing in children. We hope to correlate other types of measures from children with cochlear implants with what we learn from this game. If we can, we might be able to imagine ways of improving on the design of the cochlear implants.
