Abstract

Neural induced enhancement of audio signals is provided to facilitate improving the listening pleasure of a user. An audio processor component can detect brain waves of a user at different frequency bands, analyze the brain wave signal in each of the different frequency bands, and can adjust one or more audio enhancement effects based at least in part on the results of the analysis. The audio processor component can adjust a spatial effect of audio signals, integrate a periodic or random variation on a spatial widening effect of audio signals, adjust a spatial effect of delayed audio signals, integrate a periodic or random variation on a spatial widening effect of the delayed audio signals, or adjust another audio enhancement effect(s) based at least in part on the analysis results, comprising information relating to the respective strengths of the one or more different frequency bands of the brain waves.
