The role of spatial processing in auditory scene analysis
EF 2017-18
Résumé
For effective hearing in real world situations, the brain needs to make sense of numerous overlapping sounds. This complex "scene analysis" process is a challenge for the aging and hearing impaired populations. Potentially, how far apart sounds are in space can help. In this research, we will investigate how spatial separation between sounds is processed in the human auditory cortex. We will test: (1) computational models of brain activity during spatial processing, (2) the effects of spatial separation on hearing ability, and (3) potential applications of spatial separation for hearing technology.
