About the role
We have spent the past several years developing a unique capability for recording large-scale neural activity datasets with high spatiotemporal resolution (Armstrong et al., Nat Biomed Eng, 2021) and applying deep learning to these datasets to develop highly-accurate models of neural coding with and without hearing loss (Sabesan et al., eLife, 2023; Drakopoulos et al, bioRxiv, 2024). We are now looking to perform listening tests to measure the benefit of new hearing aid algorithms developed using these methods.
Key duties and responsibilities will include:
- Designing listening tests to measure the benefit of new hearing aid algorithms relative to the state-of-the-art
- Implementing listening tests in software
- Recruiting listeners with hearing loss to perform listening tests
- Carrying out listening tests
- Analyzing the results of listening tests
- Preparing results for publication and for pitching to potential investors
- Representing the group at external meetings/seminars
