Vestibular Anatomy Modeling and Electrode Design

For the development of a vestibular implant results from high-resolution CT-recordings and corresponding histology of a statistically relevant number of inner ear preparations, an anatomical and electrical computer model of the inner ear will be established. The aimed-for results not only allow the integration of morphology, structure, and anatomical variability with electrical and electrophysiological aspects but also the feasibility of new approaches and technologies for electrostimulation to be explored.
