The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), awarded a $131,555 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173) program to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The project aims to characterize how noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) affects the cortical representation and perception of complex natural sounds. Key objectives include: 1) Identifying the low-dimensional cortical manifold that represents high-dimensional auditory cortical activity, and testing if these computations generalize across animals; 2) Developing neural models of sound categorization and validating them against behavioral data; 3) Examining how NIHL impacts cortical manifold structure, inhibition, and sound categorization; and 4) Designing algorithms to restore impaired cortical manifolds and improve neural representations and behavioral performance. The project period runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027.
