Researchers at MIT have discovered that computer models mimicking the human auditory system, particularly those that are based on machine learning, are making strides in designing enhanced hearing aids, cochlear implants, and even brain-machine interfaces.
This discovery can completely change the life of people with hearing problems.
Let's find out what they've discovered.
A promising discovery
MIT specialists discovered that computer models mimicking the human auditory system can generate internal representations similar to the human brain when exposed to sounds.
The experiment emphasizes effective model training by including background noise in auditory input, aiding models in mimicking human auditory cortex activation patterns.
Systems trained on different tasks replicate distinct aspects of auditory functions.
These results pave the way for developing more successful models to recreate human brain responses, advancing hearing technology and even brain-machine interfaces.
