Quarterly update Q3 2021

Newsroom Computational Audiology, November 5

Below you find the latest news and developments in computational audiology: biomimetic cochleas, computational audiology discussion group, and an overview of 2021 third quarter’s publications related to computational audiology.

Biomimetic cochleas

The Cambridge Sense lab and Biointerfaces lab produced and studied biomimetic cochleas to understand the cochlear implant-human biointerface using machine learning (Lei et al., 2021)

 

CAN reading group

Starting this week, Stephany Folwer is moderating a reading group that follows the online video series AI For Everyone by Andrew Ng of Stanford (available here on Coursera), interested CAN members can join a discussion group on that topic on a set day within the Slack #readinggroup channel. These discussions are intended to clarify topics learned during that week’s lesson, as well as come up with applicable ways to consider these topics within your own lab or across labs and specialties. More info you can still join this week.

Hu et al. (2021) describe a computational model for tinnitus subjects based on the Bayesian brain concept. While Tarnowska et al. (2021) propose a data-driven clinical decision support system for the diagnosis and therapy of hearing disorders including tinnitus. In an extensive critical review, Carlyon & Goehring (2021) assess Cochlear Implant research of the last 20 years and identify promising areas of future developments. Lesica et al. (2021) describe opportunities to apply AI in hearing health care and make a call for the AI and hearing communities to come together to bring about a technological revolution in hearing.

These and many more developments are published below.
