Research topics

  • information processing and computational neuroscience 
  • coding of sound into nerve-action potentials 
  • spiking neuronal networks in the auditory brainstem
  • biophysics and modelling of sensory organs and neurons
  • hearing implants: novel coding strategies, electrical and optical stimulation 
  • automatic speech recognition using bio-inspired lgorithms.

Scientific approach

  • We combine methods from information theory and classification theory to analyze our models of the
    inner ear and our spiking neuronal networks for speech processing.
  • We conduct measurements to investigate the excitation of auditory neurons in human subjects with
    cochlear implants and with neuronal networks cultured on multi-electrode arrays.
