Dr. Will Sedley Requesting YOUR Input — Predictive Brain Processing for Tinnitus

[ajc]

Is there any place where I can find some information regarding how this sound therapy works? I've quickly gone through the model description itself and it's pretty clear for me, but there is nothing about the algorithm of the sound generation. I am not sure if this information has been disclosed.

I would think the algorithm is an intellectual property, maybe waiting for patenting, that Dr. Sedley doesn't want to disclose publicly. Would make sense...

Got to say I was part of the study and it sadly didn't do anything special for me.

Here's a new article from Will Sedley and his team:

What Do Mismatch Negativity (MMN) Responses Tell Us About Tinnitus? - Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology

Due to the heterogeneous causes, symptoms and associated comorbidities with tinnitus, there remains an unmet need for a clear biomarker of tinnitus presence. Previous research has suggested a “final pathway” of tinnitus presence, which occurs regardless of the specific mechanisms that resulted...
