Study of the Role of Top-down Processes in Neuronal Reorganization and Recovery From Sensory Loss: an Exploratory Behavioral and Electroencephalographic Study in Cochlear-supported Deaf Patients

This study posits that central top-down processes (attention, inhibition), marked by alpha oscillations in EEG, play a key role. Understanding the evolution of these neuronal signatures and their link to pre-implantation visual dependence could allow the identification of biomarkers predictive of the success of auditory rehabilitation.
