Lloyd May on Audio Processing Strategies to Enhance Cochlear Implant Users' Music Enjoyment

malcolm — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 16:03:38 +0000

Date:

Fri, 05/10/2024 - 10:30am - 12:00pm

Location:

CCRMA Seminar Room

Event Type:

Hearing Seminar

Cochlear implants are an amazing solution to a hard problem. How do you electrically stimulate the auditory system to convey sound to people who are otherwise deaf? This is an example of a brain-computer interface and millions have been fitted to people who have difficulty hearing. They work well enough to allow people to understand speech. It's really quite remarkable. But what about music? What might we do to encode music so that people with cochlear implants can enjoy it? Why is music different than speech, and what parts of the musical signal might be conveyed?

Who: Lloyd May (CCRMA)
What: Designing Audio Processing Strategies to Enhance Cochlear Implant Users' Music Enjoyment
When: Fri, 05/10/2024 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Where: CCRMA Seminar Room, Top Floor of The Knoll at Stanford
Why: How do we stimulate our brains with electricity.

Pulse Audition: Leveraging DNN-Based Speech Enhancement for Improved Communication in Assistive Listening Devices

rmichon — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 07:41:09 +0000

Date:

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 6:00pm - 7:00pm

Location:

CCRMA Classroom

Event Type:

Guest Colloquium

This talk explores the evolution of Deep Neural Network (DNN) based approaches in speech enhancement and source separation. Beginning with a historical overview, it traces the progression from traditional methods to the current state-of-the-art techniques. Emphasizing the persistent challenge of speech intelligibility in noisy environments, the discussion transitions to the contemporary issue of inadequate performance in conventional hearing aids. The approach adopted by Pulse Audition of integrating DNN-based technologies into hearing assistance systems is then highlighted, presenting a promising avenue for significantly enhancing communication for individuals with hearing impairments.
