and the part that you
really want to go into
is the tonotopically
organized spot
so that this needle
electrode y--
this is a long electrode
array with about 16 contacts
on it, in this needle.
And that's put into the
tonotopic part of the IC,
and it didn't get into the
right place in most people.
But even in the one individual,
got it in the right place,
it wasn't any
better than the ABI.
But there is going to be another
clinical trial in which they
implant five more subjects.
And hopefully, the outcomes
will be better on that.
So that's the various
types of electrodes.
And, obviously, the
cochlear implant
is the real winner here.
And we have been having
readings-- Hi, Sheila-- we've
been having readings
in our class,
and I'll do a reading now
about the cochlear implant.
This is from-- this is
not made into a book form
yet because this is from the
esteemed academic publication
called Yahoo
Finance, on the web.
And this is dated
September 9, 2013.
And the subject of this
column is the Lasker Award.
So the Lasker
Award, does anybody
know what the Lasker Award is?
Sometimes, called the
American Nobel Prize,
so it's a very
prestigious honor.
It's given in several
different fields,
mostly in medicine
and biomedical areas,
and so there are sub-groups.
And this one was given in
clinical medical research
award.
So the 2013 Lasker Clinical
Medical Research Award
honors Graeme Clark, Ingeborg
Hochmair and Blake Wilson
for developing the modern
cochlear implant, a device that
bestows hearing on
