Project description

The human brain is remarkable capable to suppress, focus on, and switch between auditory streams, but the underlying interplay of neurophysiology and acoustics remains unclear. The DUCK project aims to develop a human-mimicking computational approach applicable in real-world learning conditions. To assess and validate the included stages of auditory processing, single-trial electroencephalography (EEG) will be used in ecological valid context.
