Develop a model simulating the function of the cochlea. The aim is to study the cochlear amplification and the transformation of mechanical vibrations into the neural signal in auditory nerve fibers.

The binaural hearing in humans is still not fully understood. The aim of the project is to design an validation of new models suitable either for studying of (binaural) hearing or for various applications (3D sound, VR, assistive technologies ...)

Sound quality is an important criterium for its design or processing, e.g. lossy compressing systems, radio and television broadcasting, 3D and VR sound, archive records restoration or hearing aids design. Sound quality measurement can be done both either by subjective listening tests or by objective methods using various metrics or psychoacoustic models. As the research concerning human hearing continues, it is possible to design a new models and use it for the sound quality assessment. The aim of the project is to design new methods for measurement of audio quality for various applications. For details see http://mmtg.fel.cvut.cz/sound-quality-pgs/
