Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Audiology

Robert K. Shepherd mainly investigates Cochlea, Audiology, Cochlear implant, Spiral ganglion and Stimulation. His Cochlea study combines topics in areas such as Sensorineural hearing loss, Inner ear and Neural degeneration. His Audiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stimulus, Electrophysiology and Neuroscience.

Robert K. Shepherd has included themes like Evoked potential, Speech perception, Auditory system and Psychoacoustics in his Cochlear implant study. His work carried out in the field of Spiral ganglion brings together such families of science as Round window, Neurite and Vestibulocochlear nerve. His Stimulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of CATS, Electrode array, Auditory brainstem response and Biomedical engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • Clinical Findings for a Group of Infants and Young Children with Auditory Neuropathy (383 citations)
  • Electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve: The effect of electrode position on neural excitation (293 citations)
  • Electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. I. Correlation of physiological responses with cochlear status. (233 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Audiology, Cochlea, Cochlear implant, Stimulation and Neuroscience. His Audiology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Otology. His work in the fields of Cochlea, such as Spiral ganglion, overlaps with other areas such as Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and Ototoxicity.

His Cochlear implant research incorporates elements of Speech perception and Surgery, Implant, Otorhinolaryngology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Stimulation, Electrode array and Retinal is strongly linked to Biomedical engineering. His study on Inferior colliculus, Neural Prosthesis and Auditory cortex is often connected to Neurotrophin-3 as part of broader study in Neuroscience.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Audiology (39.21%)
  • Cochlea (37.63%)
  • Cochlear implant (37.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Stimulation (35.53%)
  • Cochlear implant (37.11%)
  • Electrode array (22.37%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Stimulation, Cochlear implant, Electrode array, Biomedical engineering and Cochlea. The Stimulation study combines topics in areas such as Stimulus, Implant and Cell biology. His Cochlear implant study is concerned with the field of Audiology as a whole.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Visual prosthesis, Prosthesis Implantation and Neuron in addition to Electrode array. His Biomedical engineering research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Retinal, Scanning electron microscope, Dielectric spectroscopy, Evoked potential and Coating. He merges many fields, such as Cochlea and Ototoxicity, in his writings.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • First-in-Human Trial of a Novel Suprachoroidal Retinal Prosthesis (187 citations)
  • Electrical Stimulation Promotes Cardiac Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (45 citations)
  • Infrared neural stimulation fails to evoke neural activity in the deaf guinea pig cochlea. (39 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Gene

Robert K. Shepherd mainly focuses on Stimulation, Cochlea, Audiology, Cochlear implant and Sensorineural hearing loss. His Stimulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Electrode array, Implant and Respiratory system. His Implant research integrates issues from Electrophysiology, Auditory cortex, Retina, Neuroplasticity and Auditory system.

Robert K. Shepherd studies Cochlea, focusing on Spiral ganglion in particular. The various areas that he examines in his Cochlear implant study include Fiber optic sensor and Optical fiber. His research on Sensorineural hearing loss often connects related topics like Neuroscience.
