Research Focus/ Forschungsschwerpunkt
Auditory Attention Detection:
Investigates the detection of a subject's attentional focus during listening with the help of EEG. The EEG signal is used to predict which speaker a subject is currently listening to or in which direction their audio focus lies. This could be used to improve hearing aids in the future. Within this research topic, both EEG and audio data are processed. In addition to classical signal processing and pattern recognition methods such as filter banks and SVMs, current artificial neural networks are also used.
Erkennung der auditiven Aufmerksamkeit:
Untersucht die Erkennung des Aufmerksamkeitsfokus einer Person während des Zuhörens mithilfe eines EEGs. Das EEG-Signal wird verwendet, um vorherzusagen, welchem Sprecher ein Proband gerade zuhört oder in welche Richtung sein Audio-Fokus liegt. Dies könnte in Zukunft zur Verbesserung von Hörgeräten genutzt werden. In diesem Forschungsthema werden sowohl EEG- als auch Audiodaten verarbeitet. Neben klassischen Signalverarbeitungs- und Mustererkennungsmethoden wie Filterbanken und SVMs kommen auch aktuelle künstliche neuronale Netze zum Einsatz.
