Risk and Protective Factors of Dyslexia: A study of auditory temporal processing and morphological awareness KU Leuven
Dyslexia is a neurological condition affecting 5-7% of the population, which impacts an individual’s ability learning to read and write despite adequate intelligence, education and remediation. The predominant etiological view postulates that dyslexia results from a deficit in the phonological domain, specifically in the quality and accuracy of phonological representations. A vital component in the development of phonological representations ...

ACT now!: Auditory Cognitive Testing to optimize hearing aid benefit Ghent University
The goal of the this research is to optimize hearing aid benefit taking into account the interaction between auditory periphery and more high-order cognitive functioning. It is focused on first, hearing outcome measures leading to insights with regard to speech understanding and listening effort, and second, the fitting and users of hearing aids leading to evidence-based
recommendations.

The DUCK project: Distraction from learning by Unrelated auditory events assessed by Computational modeling and Knowledge extraction from single-trial electroencephalography (EEG) Ghent University
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 ...
Functional circuits in the early auditory system: structure and function. KU Leuven
With this project we study several circuits and phenomena at the level of the auditory brainstem. The main experimental questions regard
- the processing of sounds that evoke a perception of pitch
- the effects of activation of the efferent system - which is a system by which the brain exerts control over the cochlea
- contextual effects in the dorsal cochlear nucleus
- sensitivity to binaural differences in the ...
