Mathias is  studying how sound input to the left and right ear interacts in the brain. A main goal is to account for human perception in both normal and impaired hearing, using physiologically plausible computer simulations. We use our knowledge from basic research for improving signal processing and fitting of cochlear implants and hearing aids.

Postdocs

Mohammad Dehghani

mohammad.dehghani@uni-oldenburg.de  +49 441 798 - 3588  W30-1-107

Mohammad applies his background in theoretical physics and computational neuroscience to research the physics of hearing. His current investigations focus on inferring binaural processing mechanisms from training deep neural networks and studying the artificial network architechture.

Ph.D. Students

Rebecca Felsheim

rebecca.felsheim@uni-oldenburg.de  +49 441 798 - 3588  W30-1-107

Rebecca is a Ph.D. student with a background in Biomedical Engineering and Advanced Signal Processing and Communications Engineering. She is developing a fast deterministic model of auditory nerve fibers stimulated by cochlear Implant electrodes. She is also involved in fitting the latency of patients with a cochlear implant on one and a hearing aid on the other ear.

Niklas Isserstedt
