Project name: ALT – Adaptation, learning and training for spatial hearing in complex environments (EU Horizon 2020 MSCA-RISE-2015 program).

Project Number: 691229

Realization period: 01/01/2016-31/12/2019 (extended co-funding until 12/2020)

Project participation: coinvestigator

Brief characteristics of the project: 

The human ability to understand speech in complex noisy environments is very important. An international consortium led by doc. Norbert Kopčo from Perception and Cognition Laboratory at the UPJŠ Institute of Computer Science recently completed the EU Horizon 2020 project ALT which studied how the brain adapts and learns when coping with such tasks. The project results provide new knowledge about the neural structures and cognitive processes of learning important in many everyday situations, ranging from localizing a ringing phone to identification of new phonemes in a foreign language. Also, tools and brain-training cell phone games were developed aiming at improving the auditory abilities of normal-hearing as well as hearing-impaired listeners.

Project name: Mechanisms of auditory spatial and attention processing: experiments, oscillations, computational models and analytical methods.

Project realization: 01/01/2020 – 31/12/2022

Project participation: principal investigator

Brief characteristics of the project: 

The proposed project plans to conduct a series of experimental and computational-analytical studies with the aim to study how we use different attention mechanisms to locate sounds in the virtual hearing environment. The project will be assessing the neural activity using electroencephalography and compare it with behavioral performance and predictions of computational models of attention mechanism. During the design proposal, analysis and modeling of observed attention mechanisms, the several advanced computational tools will be developed, based on experimental data. The results will be important, for example, for the development of new prosthetic devices and new virtual reality technologies.
