Expertise and Capabilities

The range of our services encompasses basic research, software/hardware engineering, prototype construction, media production and post-processing, and human performance testing.  We specialize in custom development for special-purpose projects, providing innovative solutions whether the desired result is a research report, a prototype, or patentable IP.

Research

  • Sensory interfaces, including sensors and actuators in all psychophysical domains.
  • Signal processing for hearing aids, cochlear implants, and assistive listening devices including noise reduction, compression amplification, and speech enhancement.
  • Hearing protection, including hear-through devices that permit natural communication in noisy environments while providing protection from unexpected loud sounds.
  • Microphone array signal processing for spatial filtering and for achieving desired spatial cues (e.g., from human pinna) artificially.
  • Prediction of acoustic signal detectability and speech intelligibility.

Engineering

  • Software development for desktop, web, and mobile devices.
  • Real-time audio signal processing for desktop/laptop and portable DSPs.
  • Acoustic and psychoacoustic testing and evaluation.
  • Electronic design: analog, digital, and electro-optical for audio and for physiological sensors and interfaces.
  • Mechanical design and fabrication: RhinoCAD, machining, molding, 3-D printing; RTV, reactive injection mold, small-run thermoplastic.
