Our projectsProject 6: Neural basis and learning transferabilities of spatial hearing abilities
Host Institution: Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÄOW), Austria
In Cooperation with the Acoustic Research Institute. Enrollment in the PhD program proposed by the University of Vienna (UNIVIE).
This project investigates the neural plasticity through sound localization training and its transferability to important real-life situations such as to detect danger signals like looming objects and to selectively attend to spatially separated sources in multi-speaker environments. Comparisons will be made between normal-hearing and bilateral cochlear implant listeners.
