Filed: | December 19, 1983 |
A method and apparatus for simulation of hearing in mammals by introduction
of a plurality of microwaves into the region of the auditory cortex is shown and
described. A microphone is used to transform sound signals into electrical
signals which are in turn analyzed and processed to provide controls for
generating a plurality of microwave signals at different frequencies. The
multifrequency microwaves are then applied to the brain in the region of the
auditory cortex. By this method sounds are perceived by the mammal which are
representative of the original sound received by the microphone.
