Cognitive Control of Auditory Environment (CCAE)

The CCAE project aims to create a hearing assistance device that is steered by brain activity. We will monitor brain signals that reflect the user’s attentional focus by the use of non-invasive brain recording called electroencephalography (EEG). These recordings will be used to help the hearing assistance device to separate, identify, and enhance sounds of interest to the user in a noisy environment. The project combines neuroscience, advanced acoustics, and artificial intelligence to produce a device that can benefit the growing population of people with hearing impairment, advance the state-of-the-art in each of these fields, and provide cutting-edge research value to the partner organization.
