Research
The following third-party funded projects in the Research Centre Neurosensory Science, which illustrate the focus on neurosensory science and are of great relevance for further development, are particularly noteworthy:
- Cluster of excellence "Hearing for all" (2012 to 2025) (together with MHH Hannover and Leibniz Universität Hannover, spokesperson: Prof Dr Dr Birger Kollmeier
3rd funding phase of theCluster of Excellence"Hearing for all" (2012 to 2025). Funding phase of the cluster of excellence "Hearing4all.connects: Innovative technologies for hearing health - from the ear to the brain to society" (2026 to 2032), spokesperson: Prof Christiane Thiel - Cluster of excellence "NaviSense: International Cluster of Excellence for the Sensory Basis, Mechanisms and Effects of Animal Navigation"
- Collaborative Research Centre "Hearing Acoustics: Perceptive Principles, Algorithms and Applications (HAPPAA)" (Spokesperson: Prof. Dr Volker Hohmann, start July 2018; 2nd funding period 2022-2026)
- Collaborative Research Centre "Magnetoreception and Navigation in Vertebrates" (SFB1372) (Spokesperson: Prof. Henrik Mouritsen, start January 2019, 2nd funding period 2023-2026)
- DFG Research Training Group "Neuromodulation of motor and cognitive functions in the healthy and diseased brain" (Spokesperson: Prof. Dr Christiane Thiel, start: July 2022)
- DFG Research Training Group "Hearable-centred assistance: From sensor to participation - HEARAZ"
(start: 2024, spokesperson Prof Dr Andreas Hein)
In particular, the two clusters of excellence and the two Collaborative Research Centres are strongly shaping the current development of the research centre. In this context, more than 40 research groups are working on various sensory topics; several junior research groups with a neurosensory focus are also active here.
As part of the expansion of School V - School of Medicine and Health Sciences and the appointment of new professorships with a clinical and/or neurosensory focus, the opportunities for cooperation within the Research Centre have been significantly improved in the direction of clinical research.
