At the University of Washington, a small group of researchers is hoping to change the way we tune the world out. The team has developed new deep-learning algorithms that can allow the user to pick what sounds filter through their headphones. So while traditional noise-canceling headphones simply erase all loud sounds, this new system can allow certain sounds (like a sudden car honk, a baby crying or even birds chirping) to come in. Fans can read more about the fascinating technology, which requires the program to filter sound in real time (and thus process a sound in less than a hundredth of a second) here.
