spatial audio virtualization and gamification for hearing assessment and enhancement

auditory perception can be both challenging and rewarding in a noisy crowded restaurant listeners must quickly recalibrate their perception to the acoustic characteristics of the room and constantly switch attention to new speakers throughout a conversation at the same time the listening experience is motivating eg when participating in an interesting conversation or enjoying the sounds of the surrounding environment a major challenge in auditory neuroscience is that the laboratory training procedures and testing tools used to assess hearing abilities are neither rewarding nor representative of the multifaceted experiences of realworld auditory scenes the goal of the current grant is to use virtual reality and computer game technologies to create advanced tools and models for accurately assessing auditory abilities and their underlying neural mechanisms and for enhancing them in people with normal and impaired hearing first a series of experimental studies will be performed to determine 1 how to achieve a strong percept of externalization in virtual environments 2 how virtualization can improve our understanding of the cognitive factors that influence performance on auditory perceptual tasks and 3 how gamified training in virtual environments can enhance spatial and speech perception then models will be developed to describe how gamification and virtualization influence auditory perception in the examined tasks the results will be used to develop new modules for existing auditory assessment and enhancement tools part and listen which were developed by members of the consortium finally workshops will be organized to train new researchers in the use of virtualization and gamification in auditory neuroscience and to share and disseminate the new results of the project

from black soldier fly to green chitin and bioplastics a novel value chain within insectbased circular economy

commercial insect production for food and feed is a fastgrowing industry among different insect species black soldier flies bsf show promising potential due to their efficient bioresource recycling capability and high nutritional values for animal feed applications in addition they are an important source of chitin the second most abundant polymer after cellulose in the world with diverse industrial applications the current insect production sector has primarily overlooked the application of chitin mainly focusing on products associated with nutritional values however in the future commercial insect sector will generate a lot of wastes including dead fly and pupae exuviae this project aims to provide industrial value to the dead fly and pupae exuviae of bsf industry into chitin and bioplastics developing and exploiting novel efficient and environmentfriendly approaches this is because from 19502015 the world has already generated 63 billion mt of plastic and an estimated 12 billion mt of plastic is predicted to reach landfills by 2050 these plastics slowly disintegrate to generate microplastics harming life underwater and above land thus we must develop biobased plastics to replace the heavy use of harmful plastics this project will extract the chitin from insect byproducts and develop it into bioplastics the current chitin extraction involves the usage of harsh chemicals leading to severe environmental pollution therefore green techniques are needed to extract chitin from these insects this study will refine and employ cutting edge techniques to extract chitin from bsf the chitin produced will be suitable for developing bioplastics since the biomass used to make bioplastic will be biodegradable and is not food product this would be the first study in the insect production sector to develop and apply a green pathway for chitin production and processing to a biodegradable bioplastic
