Caption

A schematic showing the bimodal neuromodulation device. Wireless headphones delivered sounds, while a small electrode array stimulated the tongue with different patterns. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Oct. 7, 2020, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by B. Conlon at Neuromod Devices Limited in Dublin, Ireland; and colleagues was titled, "Bimodal neuromodulation combining sound and tongue stimulation reduces tinnitus symptoms in a large randomized clinical study."
