Brain Research Meets Technology, with a Focus on Hearing
December 18, 2015 | Technische Universität MünchenEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Prof. Bernhard Seeber, who investigates the impact of hearing impairment on auditory perception and audio information-processing approaches to improve hearing devices, also cites mutual advantages gained through cooperation with scientists who approach neuroscience from different angles. This comes into play, for example, in modeling the electric stimulation of the auditory system with cochlear implants, in testing patients with hearing impairment, and in the use of acoustic virtual reality for research on hearing and hearing devices.
TUM and LMU are launching a collaboration to establish and refine a virtual reality infrastructure. Both the new lab hosted in the state-of-the-art anechoic chamber under construction at TUM and the BCCN virtual reality facility in Martinsried will use advanced in-house software to simulate realistic acoustic environments and reproduce them over loudspeakers. "We hope this will further the collaboration and exchange of data and experiments among Bernstein Center members," Seeber says.
