    Patrick, James F. ; Seligman, Peter M. ; Clark, Graeme M. (Singular Publishing, 1997)
    The last two decades have seen major advances in cochlear implants for profoundly deaf people. Implants are now used by severely to profoundly deaf adults and children in almost every phase of daily life. They have become an established treatment, and today's expectations for all aspects of the cochlear implant system are much greater than they were for the experimental devices of the early 1980s. Hardware designs have improved to meet clinical and research demands, technological developments have made the devices smaller and more reliable, and speech processing research has yielded a series of improvements in patient benefit.

    The Melbourne Cochlear Implant Clinic program
    Cowan, Robert S. C. ; Clark, Graeme M. (Singular Publishing, 1997)
    The Melbourne Cochlear Implant Clinic program involves a multidisciplinary clinical team, collaborating with those engaged in more fundamental research, and with the biomedical company Cochlear Limited. This chapter reflects the contributions of many professionals to managing children with cochlear implants.

    Comparison of current speech coding strategies
    Whitford, L. A. ; Seligman, P. M. ; Blamey, Peter J. ; McDermott, H. J. ; Patrick, J. F. ( 1993)
    This paper reports on two studies carried out at the University of Melbourne jointly with Cochlear Pty Ltd. The studies demonstrated substantial speech perception improvements over the current Multipeak strategy in background noise.

    Psychophysical and speech perceptual studies on cochlear implant patients
    Tong, Yit C. ; Lim, H. H. ; Clark, Graeme M. (Springer-Verlag, 1990)
    One of the most important findings in cochlear implant research has been the orderly variation in perceptual characteristics produced by intracochlear electrodes in accordance with the tonotopic organization of the cochlea. The electrical signal dimension of electrode position has therefore been used extensively for presenting speech information to cochlear implant patients. This paper describes further psychophysical and speech perceptual results on the perceptual characteristics produced by intracochlear electrodes.
