Auditory research pioneer dies - UPI.com
Dr. Robert Galambos, the neuroscientist whose work on how bats navigate led to implanted devices to help the deaf hear, has died, his family says.
Galambos,96, died of congestive heart failure on June 18 at his home in La Jolla, Calif., The New York Times reported Friday.
Galambos' research into how bats navigate in total darkness revealed the code by which nerves send messages about sound and led to practical results like cochlear implants to provide a sense of sound to the profoundly deaf, the newspaper said.
Galambos, the author of more than 200 scientific publications, was "one of the giants of auditory research," Steven A. Hillyard, a professor of neuroscience at the University of California -- San Diego, said.
