Robust Speech Encoding in Impaired Hearing (RobSpear)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

The prevalence of hearing impairment amongst the elderly is a stunning 33%, while the younger generation is sensitive to noise-induced hearing loss through increasingly loud urban life and lifestyle. Yet, hearing impairment is inadequately diagnosed and treated because we fail to understand how the components that constitute a hearing loss impact robust speech encoding. A recent and ground-breakin ...

PLAsticiTY of Perceptual space Under Sensorimotor interactions (PLATYPUS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2017, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

Space is the foundational characteristic of visual perception and we generally perceive it as continuous and uniform. Behavioural measurements and the properties of our sensory systems however, demonstrate that this is an illusory situation and our percept is constructed by the brain. One example is our lack of awareness of the blind spot that exists in each eye. Space is non-uniformly represented ...

In the eye of the observer: Visual processing at the heart of the retina (switchBoard)

Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

All visual information is broadcasted by an intra-retinal pathway formed by a group of neurons called bipolar cells. They collect photoreceptor signals in the outer retina and relay the signals to the inner retinal neurons. This transfer of visual information is far from passive: Each of the at least 10 bipolar cell types transforms the photoreceptor signals in a unique and highly specific way. As ...
