We are excited to announce the acquisition of Eno Enophones, a unique combination of high-quality headphones and EEG sensors, now available in the SIPPRE Lab. These cutting-edge devices allow us to conduct simultaneous audio-based experiments and brain activity monitoring, opening new avenues for research and student projects.
The Enophones will be utilized in various projects focused on hearing experiments and studies, including:
- Emotion Recognition During Music Listening: Investigating how different musical genres and compositions evoke emotional responses, analyzed through EEG data.
- Auditory Attention Studies: Exploring how the brain processes and responds to auditory stimuli, providing insights into focus and distraction in complex auditory environments.
- Cognitive Engagement with Soundscapes: Evaluating brain activity during immersive audio experiences to understand neural responses to designed auditory environments.
- Speech Perception and Processing: Studying the neural mechanisms involved in understanding spoken language and its relationship to cognitive load and mental states.
- Music Therapy Research: Examining the therapeutic effects of music on emotional well-being and cognitive performance using real-time brain monitoring.
These projects will provide students with hands-on experience in neuroscience, auditory signal processing, and machine learning, using this innovative technology to bridge sound and brain research.
Stay tuned for updates on how the Enophones are driving advancements in auditory research and student-driven innovation in our lab!
