    A multiple electrode cochlear implant
    Clark, Graeme M. ; Tong, Y. C. ; Black, R. ; Forster, I. C. ; Patrick, J. F. ; Dewhurst, D. J. (Cambridge University Press, 1977)
    It is generally agreed that if a cochlear implant hearing prosthesis is to enable a patient to understand speech, it must be a multiple-electrode system. In addition, stimulation of the auditory nervous system should approximate the patterns of neural excitation occurring in people with normal hearing, and this is especially important when a patient has previously experienced hearing. For this reason the correct application of electrophysiological principles to the design of a hearing prosthesis is desirable, and is discussed in this paper with special reference to a device developed in the Departments of Otolaryngology and Electrical Engineering at the University of Melbourne (UMDOLEE).

    The clinical assessment of cochlear implant patients
    Clark, Graeme M. ; O'Loughlin, J. O. ; Rickards, Field W. ; Tong, Y. C. ; Williams, A. J. (Cambridge University Press, 1977)
    This paper is a discussion of the clinical assessment routine adopted following experience gained over the last three years from evaluating 27 patients with severe sensori-neural deafness to determine whether they are suitable for the cochlear implantation of a multiple-electrode receiving and stimulating device developed jointly in the Departments of Otolaryngology and Electrical Engineering at the University of Melbourne.

    A multiple-electrode array for a cochlear implant
    Clark, Graeme M. ; Hallworth, Richard J. (Cambridge University Press, 1976)
    It is becoming increasingly evident from experimental work on animals and humans that if cochlear implants are going to help patients understand speech, they must be designed to stimulate a number of different groups of auditory nerve fibres.

    Experimental research into cochlear implants
    Clark, Graeme M. ( 1977)
    The areas of research to be discussed are studies of animal behaviour, cochlear models, multiple electrode arrays and experimental surgery.
