Auditory System

The human auditory system, responsible for processing sound and enabling hearing, is a complex biological system currently under intense investigation. Research focuses on understanding its mechanisms through computational modeling, employing architectures like convolutional neural networks and predictive coding models to analyze auditory processing, particularly spatial attention and sound source localization. These efforts aim to improve artificial hearing technologies and provide insights into the neural basis of auditory perception, with applications ranging from assistive devices for hearing impairment to advanced robotics and environmental monitoring. Furthermore, studies are exploring the parallels between biological auditory processing and the design of efficient artificial systems for tasks like speech recognition and ocean wave prediction.
