Two are better than one: Differences in cortical EEG patterns during auditory and visual verbal working memory processing between Unilateral and Bilateral Cochlear Implanted children

Bridging the Gap between Psychophysiological and Audiological Factors in the Assessment of Tinnitus: An EEG Investigation in the Beta Band

“…The THI provides additional data to the traditional psychoacoustic assessment (e.g., pitch and loudness matching, minimum masking levels, residual inhibition). Tinnitus severity is categorized as follows: no handicap (0-16 points), 'mild' (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36), 'moderate' (38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56), 'severe' (58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)…”

“…Neurocognitive network dynamics are often discussed in terms of rhythmic activity in different frequency ranges: delta (δ, 1–3.5 Hz), theta (θ, 4–7.5 Hz), alpha (α, 8–12 Hz), beta (β, 13–30 Hz), and gamma (γ, above 30 Hz) [ 48 ]. Moreover, EEG investigations have been shown as valid measures for the objective detection of tinnitus in several investigations [ 49 , 50 ] (for a recent overview, see [ 51 ]) and also for neurophysiological investigations during auditory cognitive tasks in groups of adult patients and children with sensory impairments [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]. Furthermore, spectral band analysis of the EEG offers a reliable and useful approach to understanding different psychiatric disorders.…”
