How do scientists respond when they encounter misinformation? In the Kavli Science and Society Sparks program, scientists explored how moving from a “correction mindset” to a “connection mindset” can help build trust with the public. Learn more here: www.kavlifoundation.org/news/deepeni...

Really excited to dig into this beauty!

"We simplify the severity model to a six-item clinical questionnaire that detects individuals at risk of severe tinnitus, for which early supportive care would be crucial." From: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #tinnitus @nature.com @natureportfolio.nature.com

Tinnitus risk factors and its evolution over time - Nature Communications

Improving tinnitus prevention and clinical management by identifying key associated risk factors is crucial. Here, the authors use machine learning in a large cohort to identify key predictors of tinn...

"A new brain-inspired algorithm developed at BU could help hearing aids tune out interference and isolate single talkers in a crowd of voices.... it could improve word recognition accuracy by 40 percentage points relative to current hearing aid algorithms." From: www.bu.edu/articles/202...

Trouble Hearing in Noisy Places and Crowded Spaces? Researchers Say New BU-Developed Algorithm Could Help Hearing Aid Users

Brain-inspired algorithm could improve word recognition accuracy in noisy situations by up to 40 percentage points, potentially helping with the so-called “cocktail party problem”

Work from @kishoreneuro.bsky.social and Moss labs shows that the 🦇 midbrain contains spatially clustered neurons that categorize vocalizations, suggesting our brains may start making sense of communication sounds earlier in the auditory pathway❗️Kudos to Jenni for leading such exceptional work 👏🏽

🦇👂🧠Our first bat paper is out! 🧠👂🦇 How do bats tell navigation from social calls? Led by the fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, we used 2P imaging to show that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives. Check it out @natneuro.nature.com: rdcu.be/ehEgz
