Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) are developing a new method to better understand the energy production of human cells. Disruptions in this process lead to serious and often fatal diseases that can affect skeletal muscle and nerve cells as well as the heart. The results have been

Audiovisual art project lets you experience “hearing with light”
Under the leadership of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), researchers from Göttingen, together with audiologists and artists from the fields of film and music, have translated the sound experience with an optogenetic cochlear implant into image and sound. The music video artistically conveys the restoration of “hearing with light”,
