Circular Logic, LLC Receives Second Phase I STTR Award from US Air Force
• Funding will support continued development of Circular Logic’s technology to simulate the human auditory system
Boca Raton, FL, April 2, 2010 -- Circular Logic, LLC, a technology company that creates advanced software to simulate human auditory perception, announced it has been awarded a $100,000 Phase I STTR grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The AFOSR-funded project, entitled "Auditory Pattern Recognition and Learning in Gradient Frequency Neural Networks" will augment the company’s existing nonlinear signal processing technology, enabling auditory pattern recognition and learning in the presence of noise and multiple targets. It will also enable the development of accelerated hardware platforms. Commercial applications of Circular Logic’s software and hardware include automated analysis of recorded music, advanced hearing aids and cochlear implants, automated speech recognition, auditory source separation, biometric authentication and military communication systems.
The Air Force Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program grants are the result of a rigorous peer review by leadings scientists, with a focus on the commercial potential of the proposed technology. "With the continued support of AFOSR, we are thrilled to be able to tackle the machine listening and machine learning problems that will be crucial to the next generation of music, hearing and speech technologies,” said Michael Stauffer, Vice President of Circular Logic.
