We are studying how sound is processed in the ear and in the brain with a focus on sub-cortical stages, especially on binaural interaction. Our primary experimental method is psychoacoustics and our secondary method is EEG. We are equally interested in understanding normal hearing, impaired (acoustic) hearing, and hearing with cochlear implants. Our goal is to express our hypotheses about auditory processing in the form of computational models or mathematical functions that can be tested against experimental data.

Our translational and applied research is building on the above-mentioned to improve the signal processing of hearing aids and cochlear implants or to improve their fitting.
