Crossed Wires is now live on OSF — an open-access white paper exploring the overlooked impact of hemispheric lateralisation in cochlear implantation for APD and early-onset deafness. 📄 https://osf.io/pwqr7/

Abstract Cochlear implantation is often approached as a peripheral correction of hearing loss, with ear selection guided primarily by audiological severity, device history, or anatomical constraints. Yet for individuals with prelingual deafness and auditory processing disorder (APD)—particularly those who developed language through visual-dominant modalities such as lipreading and captioning—this approach may overlook a crucial factor: brain lateralisation.

The auditory system is inherently asymmetrical, with each ear routing input to the opposite cerebral hemisphere. Given that the left hemisphere is typically dominant for language decoding, implanting the left ear (feeding into the right hemisphere) may, in some cases, introduce an artificial signal into a neural system ill-suited to interpret it.

This paper proposes that ear choice in cochlear implantation should consider cerebral dominance and sensory compensation history, particularly in older CI recipients with entrenched APD and visual adaptation. Drawing on findings from research on hemispheric language dominance, cortical reorganisation, unilateral vs bilateral stimulation, and cross-modal plasticity, it identifies a critical gap: current CI evaluation protocols rarely account for how early sensory deprivation and neural re-routing shape long-term comprehension.

Evidence suggests CI outcomes can vary based on implantation side (Chilosi et al., 2014) and that unilateral implants may lead to asymmetric cortical dominance with lasting consequences (Gordon et al., 2013).

This paper doesn’t prescribe a universal protocol, but calls for a more personalised, neurocognitive framework—one that recognises that more input does not always mean more understanding, especially when the signal enters the wrong side of a rewired brain.

look I'm just saying

steven really be out here glitchin this episode 👀

Dude. What if Five was the glitch. His dad was a programmer/hacker. What if he hacked Hinobi technology and purposely made a glitch like Ridley. We never hear about Five’s mom or that side of the family. What if he got the nickname “Five” as he was the fifth attempt at making a successful AI.

I dunno. I’m kinda tired.

Never finished Inktober, but here are some prompts that I did in advance because I knew I’d be busy when I was meant to do them

1) Past

This one made me think of the time travel ep, so I drew young Donald and Della!

2) Legend

I considered doing Scrooge for this prompt, but in the end I settled for this random girl on a cliff

3) Isolation

This prompt made me think about alleycats, I’m not sure why? But I went with it and it took forever to colour

4) Spirit

Need I explain? Tis Duckworth!

5) Glitch

Ok, so this prompt actually made me think of a wholeass theory so strap in bois-

So Frank said that maybe “Agent 22” came before “Bentina Beakley”, and that made me think, what if Beakley’s a robot?

Maybe she was the 22nd attempt at creating the perfect simulation of human life, and was made to be the perfect agent, able to easily blend in, but also kick your ass.

It would explain why the crowd shout “22! 22!” at the party in the time travel ep, because in reality “Bentina Beakley” is her code name.

And maybe she stopped working for SHUSH because they discovered a glitch, and planned to shut her down and begin work on attempt 23

think about the glitch theory and

the way Felix is so self aware in D9 and the I am NOT trailer??

we know he's the glitch, but is he the same kid of glitch as the others?

I think Felix is a controlled glitch

as in he was made by the government. during his part in the I am NOT trailer it says "fake", could that mean that Felix is a fake glitch?

You can’t talk about a glitch canon without discussing Glitch Feminism and Legacy Russell. Here is Legacy giving a talk about it at LSE and here is a link to her text for Rhizome.
