Cognitive Hearing Aid Filters Out the Noise

Caption

A cognitively controlled assistive hearing device can automatically amplify one speaker among many. To do so, a deep neural network automatically separates each of the speakers from the mixture, and compares each speaker with the neural data from the user's brain. The speaker that best matches the neural data is then amplified to assist the user.
