Research project funded by NIDCD to study tinnitus using functional near-infrared spectroscopy to identify objective brain correlates in auditory and non-auditory cortices.
Description
The project aims to localize brain changes in human tinnitus using an adapted fNIRS probe, measuring both subjective and somatic tinnitus, and correlating these with severity levels. Tinnitus involves neural changes in the primary auditory cortex.
