A study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has advanced the development of computational models based on the structure and function of the human auditory system. Findings from the study suggest these models that are derived from machine learning could be used to improve hearing aids, cochlear implants and brain-machine interfaces. The study, conducted by…

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has been investigating computational models that are designed to mimic the structure and function of the human auditory system. They claim that these models could have future applications in the development of more advanced hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. In a study that…

A study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) shows that machine learning-based computational models are making strides towards mimicking the human auditory system, potentially improving the design of devices like hearing aids and cochlear implants. The research indicated that these models’ internal data structures have similarities to those seen in the human brain in response…

MIT researchers have conducted a study that suggests machine learning models might be used to better design hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. In the largest research project to date involving deep neural networks trained to carry out auditory tasks, the researchers showed that most of these models mimic the human brain’s behaviour when…

Computational models that mirror the structure and functioning of the human auditory system could lead to improvements in hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces, researchers at MIT say. The team has conducted the largest study yet of deep neural networks trained to perform auditory tasks, and found that most generate internal representations bearing similarities…
