Reduction in spread of excitation as predictor of multi-channel spectral resolution
Despite the impoverished information provided by a cochlear implant (CI), patients are unable to use all of the information provided by the CI speech processor. With a CI, pitch is presented by the location in the cochlea in which electric stimulation is presented. Typically, the cochlear location (and therefore the pitch) corresponds to the physical electrode locations. Unfortunately the electric fields provided by stimulation on a single electrode are broad and as a result, adjacent electrodes typically stimulate overlapping neural populations in the cochlea. Therefore, even with 12 to 22 electrodes in a modern implant, CI users typically perform as if they only have approximately 8 electrodes. A technique known as "current focusing" involves simultaneously stimulating on multiple electrodes out of phase, resulting in a reduction in electrical spread within the cochlea. Current focusing may reduce channel interaction and thereby increase the amount of independent information perceived from electrical stimulation. Depending on patient-related factors (e.g., neuronal health, location of electrodes, etc.), individual CI users may or may not benefit from current focusing. The overall goals of this research are to improve CI users' performance via current focusing and to identify CI users that may benefit from focused stimulation. We hypothesize that if current focusing can reduce the spread of excitation, then channel interaction will be reduced and the spectral resolution will be increased, thereby CI performance in challenging listening conditions (e.g., speech in noise, music perception). If current focusing is applied to "current steered" virtual channels, the spectral resolution may be further increased. Ultimately, current shaping (steering and focusing) can be optimized for individual CI users, allowing for efficient transmission of the maximum amount of spectral cues for each patient.In order to achieve the goals of the study, we will conducting a number of speech and hearing tests.

Registry for SETD2 Neurodevelopmental Disorder
This study involves the collection of data from individuals who have SETD2-neurodevelopmental disorders. By collecting clinical information and administering surveys to affected individuals or their guardians, we hope to gain insight on the disorder. We hope to gather information regarding the syndrome and establish a clinical presentation of associated syndrome through identifying subjects through social media groups related to the specific disorder. All data - clinical, biochemical, radiological, and genetic information from each patient- will be stored in a RedCap database in compliance with HIPPA.
Registry of COVID-19 Survivors: Assessment of ICU and Non-ICU Survivors: A Creation of a COVID Survivorship Database
COVID-19 is associated with acute pulmonary and cardiac injury. To better understand the degree and severity of cardiopulmonary injury as well as short and long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection, this study will perform longitudinal study in patients who had recent known diagnosis of COVID-19. Provide structural and function information about lung and heart using chest imaging, MRI, Echo, Spirometry, and blood markers in order to assess severity of cardiopulmonary injury and short- and long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection as well as assess indicators of mental health and quality of life.
