Overview

Katharina Braun is affiliated with Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg in Germany. Their research primarily focuses on auditory science, encompassing areas such as hearing, cochlea function, tinnitus, and genetic factors related to auditory conditions. Braun has contributed extensively to the understanding of hearing loss, rehabilitation, noise effects, and auditory disorders.

Their recent publications cover a range of topics within sensory systems and cognitive neuroscience, often intersecting with speech and hearing sciences. Notable papers include:

  • "Derivation of input-output functions from distortion-product otoacoustic emission level maps" (2020, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America)
  • "Test-retest reliability of distortion-product thresholds compared to behavioral auditory thresholds" (2021, Hearing Research)
  • "Differential cortical activation patterns: pioneering sub-classification of tinnitus with and without hyperacusis by combining audiometry, gamma oscillations, and hemodynamics" (2024, Frontiers in Neuroscience)
  • "Neural Adaptation at Stimulus Onset and Speed of Neural Processing as Critical Contributors to Speech Comprehension Independent of Hearing Threshold or Age" (2024, Journal of Clinical Medicine)
  • "Reliable Long-Term Serial Evaluation of Cochlear Function Using Pulsed Distortion-Product Otoacoustic Emissions: Analyzing Levels and Pressure Time Courses" (2024, Ear and Hearing)

The scientific collaboration network of Braun includes frequent coauthors such as Ernst Dalhoff, Dennis Zelle, Anthony W. Gummer, Stephan Wolpert, and Marlies Knipper. These partnerships have contributed to a significant body of work advancing auditory and sensory system research.

Braun's work is published predominantly in journals related to audiology and otolaryngology, with frequent contributions to venues such as Laryngo-Rhino-Otologie, HNO, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Hearing Research, and Frontiers in Neuroscience.

Their main fields of study are within neuroscience, with specialized subfields including sensory systems, cognitive neuroscience, speech and hearing, neurology, and experimental and cognitive psychology. The core topics addressed in their work are:

  • Hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, genetics
  • Hearing loss and rehabilitation
  • Noise effects and management
  • Vestibular and auditory disorders
  • Multisensory perception and integration
  • Antifungal resistance and susceptibility
  • Neutrophil, myeloperoxidase and oxidative mechanisms
