This federal Project Grant award of $1,008,234, awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the CFDA Program 93.173 "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders", supports research to identify objective neural correlates of subjective and somatic tinnitus using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The research, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh, aims to investigate hemodynamic responses (HRs) and resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in the auditory cortex of individuals with non-somatic and somatic tinnitus, and determine how these objective measures relate to tinnitus severity. The goal is to develop machine learning algorithms that can distinguish between the two tinnitus variants based on the objective neural correlates, which could help individualize tinnitus therapies. The project period runs from September 9, 2024 to August 31, 2029.
