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”, a technology that promises an improved hearing experience compared to conventional cochlear implants.
“This exciting project has succeeded in a unique way in capturing the fresh courage, drive and joyful anticipation of the researchers for better hearing,” says Prof. Dr. Tobias Moser, Director of the Institute of Auditory Neuroscience at the UMG and spokesperson for the EKFZ OT and the MBExC.
