ADVANCED DIFFUSION IMAGING IN RENAL TISSUE: TECHNICAL OPTIMIZATION
The objective of this study is to optimize imaging protocols and analysis for advanced diffusion-weighted MRI of the kidney. We hypothesize that this optimization will ... -
Role of the Decision-Making Reference Point in Cognition and Psychopathology
Mood disorders are characterized by a tendency to subjectively evaluate objectively positive outcomes in a negative light. Using behavioral decision-making tasks informed by an understanding ... -
The Role of Residual Hearing in Cochlear Implant Outcomes
Cochlear implants (CIs) have the potential to restore high frequency hearing electrically while maintaining residual low frequency hearing, allowing for simultaneous electric and acoustic listening ... -
NEST Study: Neuro-Environmental Study of Fetal Developmental Trajectories
Our goal is to learn how mothers and babies are connected at important developmental stages, during pregnancy and beyond. We hope to understand more about ... -
Exploring spectral and temporal resolution in the apex for speech processor optimization
Two unique attributes of the Med-El cochlear implant system are a long electrode array allowing for apical stimulation of the cochlea and a speech processing ... -
Auditory Pathway Mapping in Pediatric Patients with Sensorineural Hearing Loss Being Evaluated for Surgical Therapy
The objective of this study is to develop methods for in vivo MRI detection of abnormal cochlear nerve and auditory brainstem pathway pathology that will ... -
Cochlear implants and listening effort: the interaction of cognitive and sensory constraints
Hearing impairment is the third most prevalent chronic medical condition among older adults in the United States. Untreated, hearing loss can interfere with effective communication ... -
Leveraging the EHR to Promote Pharmacy Adoption of Dosing Best Practices and Reduce Parent Errors in Administering Pediatric Liquid Medications: A Health Literacy-Informed Approach
