The Interactive Audio Lab
Welcome to the Interactive Audio Lab, headed by Bryan Pardo. We are in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of Northwestern University . We apply machine learning, signal processing, natural language processing, and database search techniques to make new auditory tools and interfaces.Current Projects
