EPOS Brain Adapt

EPOS BrainAdapt™ is a group of pioneering technologies that work together to improve cognitive performance. 

About

We Hear with Our Ears but Listen with Our Brain

EPOS, as a result of extensive psychoacoustic research have put together their findings under the umbrella concept of BrainAdapt™ . To put it simply, in the design and manufacture of both hardware and software for headsets, speakerphones and video conferencing equipment extensive research has ( and is ) been carried out in order discover how the brain processes audio. This is conducted with a view to making the audio experience as natural and as ‘ergonomic’ as possible.

An illuminating fact is that “We Hear with Our Ears but Listen with Our Brain” – meaning that the brain does an awful lot of work in the processing of the audio input conveyed by the ears. What EPOS have discovered is that sounds that are not easily processed ( i.e. not recognised ) cause stress and weariness. This issue is known as Cognitive Load.

R & D

Being part of the Demant Group allows EPOS to leverage R&D synergies from other companies within the Group, such as Oticon and the world-leading Eriksholm Research Centre.

Machine Learning

EPOS designs audio and video solutions with unique algorithms and acoustics to provide the best conditions for the brain.

Concentration

The minimisation of unrecognised sounds allows greater concentration.

Focus

The brain is allowed to adapt to artificial sound  – more focus on the conversation.

Alertness

Stress and fatigue are reduced as the brain uses less ‘processing power’.

Orient, focus, recognize – this is the process the brain performs to make sense of sound.

So what EPOS are doing is ensuring their technologies ( both hardware and software ) support the brain’s listening process and, as a result, facilitate communications via the Power of Audio and scientific research.

If you are in a busy office using a headset or in a video conference room participating in a remote meeting EPOS’ algorithms will be constantly working to minimise the impact of unnatural sounds so that your brain can be usefully employed in listening to the conversation and thinking.
