Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cochlear implants work by utilizing the tonotopic map of frequencies on the cochlea. The implant's electrodes are arranged in a way that matches the tonotopic map so that each electrode stimulates a specific pitch or frequency. This allows the implant to provide sound information to the brain in a way that closely resembles the natural hearing process.
