The Institute of Communication Acoustics (IKA) at RUB provides research and teaching expertise in the fields of statistical signal processing (speech and audio), model-based optimal signal processing, multi-rate signal processing, virtual acoustics and auditory acoustics. In an area of about 900 m2 IKA hosts staff offices, a seminar room, a library and specialized labs, such as an anechoic and a reverberant chamber, a modern speech communication lab with variable acoustics, an auditory measurement lab, and a digital signal processing teaching lab. Currently, the focus of research activities is advanced signal processing concepts for hearing instruments.
