Statistical Signal Processing Research Laboratory (SSPRL)
overview
Our mission is to extend the frontiers of signal processing research and system design to improve the quality of life by developing novel methods and viable solutions to real-life problems. We strive for perfection in research and development in the areas of audio, acoustics, and speech signal processing and noise reduction for biomedical and commercial applications. The main projects at SSPRL include the development of novel multi-channel adaptive and real-time signal processing algorithms and methods using wire and wireless technology and potable digital platforms such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops for hearing aid applications, noise suppression and speech enhancement for MRI/fMRI rooms, noise reduction for HVAC systems, and speech privacy for office environments. The SSPRL projects have all been supported by funding from NIH, DOD, Dept. of VA, University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center, and private industry such as Texas Instruments Inc., National Instruments Inc., FirstCo Inc., TxMRC, Speech Privacy Systems Inc.
