Abstract The proposal outlines a plan to organize a series of workshops on cognitively-controlled listening devices. The meetings aim to advance scientific inquiry and computational tools for decoding brain activity and assessing cognitive functions in order to control assistive listening devices used in everyday environments. The field pushes forth current limitations in technologies such as hearing aids which take a bottom-up, hearing-centric approach. Instead, we explore scientific and engineering solutions to leverage both hearing and cognitive functions to deliver improved communication capabilities. The format of these workshops is aimed as a hands-on structure where interdisciplinary teams including senior researchers and younger trainees and students work together during 4 days to pilot new ideas, exchange approaches and compare methodologies around themes relevant to auditory cognition. The workshops, to be held every 18 months, aim to foster a nascent community of researchers spanning hearing scientists, cognitive and brain scientists, engineers and computer scientists. Benefits from the cross-training and large-scale collaborations throughout these fields will facilitate translating readouts of the mental state of listeners into effective feedback mechanisms to control hearing prosthetics and shape the listening experience. The workshop aims to engage a wider community and particularly cultivate participation of women and under-represented minorities as well as giving a voice to junior researchers. Beyond the scientific and engineering scholarly contributions, the proposed workshops will provide know-how to develop systems able to implement cognitive-aware listening devices and as such can expand the industry of cognitive robotics and assistive devices. A close partnership between the research community and industry present valuable opportunities for translational impact that benefit the field in general.

抽象的 该提案概述了组织一系列认知控制听力研讨会的计划 设备。这些会议旨在推进解码大脑的科学探究和计算工具 活动并评估认知功能，以控制日常使用的辅助听力设备 环境。该领域突破了助听器等技术的当前限制，这些技术需要 自下而上、以听力为中心的方法。相反，我们探索科学和工程解决方案 利用听力和认知功能来提高沟通能力。这 这些研讨会的形式旨在作为一种实践结构，跨学科团队包括 高级研究人员和年轻的受训人员和学生在 4 天内共同试验新想法， 围绕与听觉认知相关的主题交换方法并比较方法。这 研讨会每 18 个月举行一次，旨在培育一个新兴的研究人员社区 听力科学家、认知和脑科学家、工程师和计算机科学家。受益于 这些领域的交叉培训和大规模合作将有助于翻译读数 将听众的心理状态转化为有效的反馈机制来控制听力假体和 塑造聆听体验。该研讨会旨在吸引更广泛的社区，特别是 培养妇女和代表性不足的少数群体的参与，并为青少年提供发言权 研究人员。除了科学和工程学术贡献之外，拟议的研讨会还将 提供开发能够实现认知感知监听设备等系统的专业知识 可以扩大认知机器人和辅助设备行业。之间的密切合作关系 研究界和工业界提供了转化影响的宝贵机会，有利于 领域一般。
