Cognitive Hearing in Primates

What we do

Hearing and cognition are closely linked, with hearing loss recognized as one of the most significant risk factors for developing dementia. At our institute, we investigate the neurobiological foundations of cognitive processes involved in hearing, using advanced primate models to uncover new insights. Our goal is to understand how hearing and cognition interact, driving the development of more effective rehabilitation strategies.
