Brian Moore (scientist)

Brian Moore is a British scientist specializing in auditory perception and psychoacoustics. He is particularly renowned for his research on hearing impairment, including the development of models and algorithms that simulate the processing of sound by the human auditory system, especially in individuals with cochlear damage.

His research has significantly contributed to the understanding of frequency selectivity, loudness perception, and temporal resolution in normal and impaired hearing. He has developed and refined auditory models that are widely used in the design and evaluation of hearing aids and other assistive listening devices. These models are employed to predict the perceived sound quality and intelligibility of speech for listeners with various degrees of hearing loss.

Professor Moore has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and has authored several influential books in the field of auditory perception, including "Hearing" and "Cochlear Hearing Loss: Physiological, Psychological and Computational Issues." He has also received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to audiology and hearing science. His work is foundational for many researchers and clinicians working to improve the lives of individuals with hearing loss.
