Sound Information Science Lab

A lab aiming for comfortable audio communication, guided by human hearing.
AboutAbout the lab
Toward the realization of advanced audio communication systems
The Sound Information Science Lab aims to realize advanced audio communication systems, using the mechanisms of human hearing as a guide.
Its starting point is the idea that, to build systems that let anyone communicate comfortably in any environment, it is essential to clarify how humans process information.
The lab conducts basic research on the auditory system and on multimodal perceptual information processing that includes hearing, as well as research on acoustic communication systems and comfortable sound environments that apply those findings.
Its research spans a broad range of fields: in addition to acoustics and information science, it connects with electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, architecture, medicine, physiology, and psychology.
Key terms
- Multimodal
- Handling information from multiple senses, such as hearing and vision, together
- Auditory display
- The auditory counterpart of a visual display: a device that conveys information or a sense of space through sound
- Hearing aid processing
- Processing that modifies sound so that it is easier and more comfortable to hear for people who have difficulty hearing
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify how humans perceive through hearing and through multiple senses including hearing, and to use that knowledge to create advanced acoustic communication systems and comfortable sound environments. In building such systems, it works on 3D sound spaces and hearing aid processing for people with hearing loss, and it also builds on research in digital signal processing.
