The Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) project in Microsoft Research aims to enable BCI for the general population. This means non-intrusive methods, fewer number of electrodes and custom-designed signal picking devices. We go towards interactive BCI, which means response times within seconds…
Audio analytics is about analyzing and understanding audio signals captured by digital devices, with numerous applications in enterprise, healthcare, productivity, and smart cities.
Our research explores audio devices that contain one or more microphones and/or one or more loudspeakers, and which support audible audio or ultrasound waves.

Summary Analyzing human motion with high autonomy requires advanced capabilities in sensing, communication, energy management and AI. Wearable systems help us go beyond external cameras enabling motion analysis in the wild. However, such systems are still semi-autonomous. This is because, they…

The goal of speech enhancement is to take the audio signal from a microphone, clean it and forward clean audio to multiple clients such as speech-recognition software, archival databases and speakers.

Spatial audio, also known as 3D stereo sound, is about creating a 3D audio experience by using headphones. Applications of this technology include augmented and virtual reality, listening to music, and watching a movie on a tablet or PC.
