Abstract:
We will investigate the feasibility of a signal processing system that controls the perceived location of a virtual sound source for listeners wearing headphones. Starting from an approximate head-related transfer function (HRTF) individualized HRTFs will be adaptively approximated for observers in… More
In this project, a system for reversing strial hearing loss by increasing endocochlear potential will be constructed and evaluated in vitro. Strial presbycusis is estimated to affect as many as 7
million people in the US. Recent research has shown that when positive current
is injected… More
