Abstract:
There has been a significant increase in the number of people suffering from communication disorders that adversely affect an individual’s physical and psychological health. The rapid development of AI and brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies provides advanced and effective methods for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of communication disorders. In this talk, I will introduce the BCI work towards improving speech communication for those with hearing impairments, including psychoacoustics for human speech perception (particularly Chinese speech understanding), cochlear implants for restoring partial hearing to profound deaf people, electroencephalography (EEG)-based auditory attention decoding.
