Project Partners

Signal Processing

  • Real-time, multi-channel and multi-modal speech enhancement
  • Integrate neuroscientific models into common neural networks
    • Compare bio-inspired vs. mathematically optimized models
    • What works better ("Is it worth informing neural nets from human brains?")
  • Perceptual losses and metrics

Human-Computer Interaction

  • Focus on usability and real-word applicability
  • Smart Glasses
    • Make use of Compantion App / VR testbed for testing
    • Requirement analysis
      • With potential users and corporations (Bionics, Fielmann, Nuance)
      • Keeping requirements minimal
    • Integrating gaze tracking and multimodal feedback
    • Configurable settings via user interface
  • Formative and summative evaluations

Neuronal Information Processing & Computational Neuroscience

  • Oscillatory systems
    • Theta-Gamma waves as for dynamic gain on phoneme and syllable attention
    • Phase-Locking (Input signal <=> Spiking/Oscillations)
  • Network Topology
    • [[Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW)]] as inspiration
    • Test parameter variation of
      • network density
      • interlinking (dense vs. sparse)
      • hierarchical modularity (modal inputs via peripheral modules, fused in GNW)
    • Interplay of topology and oscillations
  • [[Predictive Coding]]
  • Infer brain mechanisms from what works well with AI model
  • Requirement and feedback from UKE and Hospital zum Heiligen Geist
  • Ethical concerns and data management
