ARO Conference in Puerto Rico
The 2026 ARO Midwinter meeting, the largest meeting on hearing science wordwide, took place in sunny Puerto Rico this year. The Neurotech Lab contributed four exciting posters on speech processing in people with hearing impairment, audiovisual speech, as well as the contribution of the inner ear to segregate speech from background noise. Tobias added to […]

Attention decoding in users of hearing aids and cochlear implants
For most of us, chatting in a busy restaurant is a manageable challenge. But for those who rely on hearing aids (HAs) or cochlear implants (CIs), the ability to focus on one person while others are talking remains a significant hurdle. Our research explored why this is so difficult by looking directly at the brain. […]

Funding for second phase of SEMECO secured
We are excited to be part of the second phase of SEMECO (Secure Medical Microsystems and Communications). SEMECO will receive up to EUR 15M in funding for another three years as part of the Clusters4Future initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). Building on the successes of the first funding […]

New DFG Project on Hyperscanning
The Sensory Neurotechnology Lab has received funding from the DFG for a new project on hyperscanning. This novel exciting project will investigate neural mechanisms of communication in natural conversations, using different imaging techniques including EEG hyperscanning. The results may help to evaluate and improve hearing prosthetics to better aid people with hearing impairment in participating […]The Sensory Neurotechnology Lab has received funding from the DFG for a new project on hyperscanning.

How we can tune in to a voice in background noise
In order to focus on a particular conversation, listeners need to be able to focus on the voice of the speaker they wish to listen to. This process is called selective attention and has been extensively studied within the auditory cortex. However, due to neural feedback from the cortex to lower auditory areas, the auditory […]

Neural responses to speech can help to diagnose brain injury
Brain injury such as following traffic or sports accidents can lead to severe disorders, including disorders of consciousness. This disorder is currently diagnosed through behavioural assessments, but this method fails when patients are not able to respond overtly. We investigated whether neural responses to speech as measured from the clinically-applicable EEG can aid to diagnose […]
