Different Perception of Musical Stimuli in Patients with Monolateral and Bilateral Cochlear Implants

Figure 1

In the upper part of the figure the experimental design in which the patients with the monolateral cochlear implant (MCI) were first subjected to the EEG recordings and then submitted to a surgical procedure to insert the second cochlear implant is presented. After several months from the surgery, when the patients recovered a good hearing condition, a second EEG recording session was made. In the lower part of the figure there is the sequence characterizing the EEG recordings performed in each population (MCI, BCI). Films 1, 2, and 3 were randomly assigned to the Norm, Dist, and Mute film, to avoid bias due to the sequence of the videos presentation.
