What is auditory neurotechnology?
Auditory neurotechnology focuses on understanding and interacting with the nervous system to measure, modulate, and restore auditory function. This includes neural interfaces, brain-computer devices, and implantable systems that can acquire and process neural signals or deliver responsive stimulation. These technologies are paving the way for high-quality brain-machine interfaces, wearable electronics, and therapeutic devices.
What we do
At the NeW (Neural Waves) lab, part of GASP, we combine medicine, engineering, and psychology to develop next-generation auditory neurotechnology. Our work focuses on:
- Design soft, minimally invasive neural interfaces for safe long-term use
- Study the auditory-neurological pathway and brain function
- Develop diagnostics and therapies beyond current hearing devices
- Create micro- and nano-scale materials for better tissue interaction
- Build interdisciplinary biomedical devices to improve health
- Support a collaborative environment for diverse research
Our research translates fundamental science into real-world solutions that help people hear better, live better, and fully experience the world of sound.
