Info
The Bionics Institute is a biomedical research institute focusing on medical bionics. The Institute’s three core research themes are bionic hearing through cochlear implants, bionic vision through stimulation of the optic nerve and neurobionics through deep brain stimulation. The Bionics Institute is located in Melbourne, Australia.
The Institute is dedicated to translational research leading to clinical outcomes. Recent examples of clinical trials the Institute has been involved in include deep brain stimulation of a patient with intractable obsessive compulsive disorder; completion of the Bionic Vision Australia trial of the prototype bionic eye with a trial of the next generation device to commence in 2015; and ongoing evaluation of a novel stimulation method to improve speech perception in five cochlear implant patients.
