Misophonia Machine Learning Acoustic Properties Study – Why Do Specific Sounds Trigger Misophonia?
Description
Why are these specific sounds triggers for misophonia? This is the question we want to answer…
The International Misophonia Foundation is currently conducting a machine learning study to analyze the characteristics of sounds associated with misophonia, as well as sounds associated with masking (such as white, pink, brown noise, etc), and ASMR. This study uses deep machine learning to study the acoustic properties of sounds that are regularly considered misophonia triggers and compare their features. We have already completed a chunk of the analysis and will have audiologists and neuroscientists review the data to derive meaning from the acoustic properties.
Every single $1 donated to the IMF = 1 hour of research. It costs $1 per hour to run our machine learning studies—and for $1—that means running various python scripts and analyzing meaningful data that contributes to misophonia literature. Funds from this campaign will go toward the machine learning servers, associated research costs, and publishing fees to a prestigious journal.
All donations will receive a US tax receipt as we are a registered 501 (c) (3) in Missouri.
