Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) received a $648,156 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), effective May 5, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2031. The award supports research investigating the neural correlates of binaural spectral and temporal fusion in the auditory system—specifically, how the brain processes and integrates sound information arriving from both ears to localize sound sources and distinguish between multiple sound sources. OHSU will deliver scientific research products and services encompassing three integrated research components: (1) development of objective behavioral measures of binaural fusion and experimental determination of factors leading to fusion of binaural spectral information in humans and animals, supported by high-channel count single-unit neurophysiological recordings; (2) characterization of neural correlates of temporal sound modulation fusion using similar behavioral and neurophysiological approaches; and (3) measurement of neural responses to natural binaural stimuli with deep learning-based encoding models to describe neural representations. The research findings will advance understanding of how hearing loss alters binaural processing and provide foundational knowledge applicable to auditory rehabilitation and hearing aid design.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
