Antoine Huet

Antoine Huet, PhD, leads the Auditory Circuit lab at the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience (IAN), focusing on neural code integration in the auditory brainstem with emphasis on phase-locking enhancement and optical stimulation techniques for auditory pathway research.

His research spans:

• Auditory Neuroscience
• Neural Coding
• Optogenetics
• Computational Neuroscience
• Information Theory
• Photopharmacology

The lab employs a multidisciplinary approach combining optical cochlear stimulation, single neuron recordings, information theory analysis, confocal/light sheet microscopy, and computational modeling to decode auditory processing mechanisms.

Scientific awards: None mentioned in source text.

Research support and advising:

• Funded by DFG Cluster of Excellence MBExC "From Molecular Machines to Networks of Excitable Cells"
• Funded by DFG Priority Program 1926 "Next Generation Optogenetics"
• Supported by Institute for Auditory Neuroscience

No formal PhD/Master's advisees were explicitly listed in the provided text.

The Auditory Circuit lab collaborates with IAN's Optogenetic Cochlear Implant Research Program to investigate neural code integration in physiological/pathological conditions (e.g., cochlear deafferentation), with direct applications for optical cochlear implant coding strategies.
