Goals & funding
The HEAD-Genuit-Foundation was established in 2008 by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Genuit, the founder of HEAD acoustics GmbH.
Funding areas
The foundation focuses on two main areas: the promotion of psychoacoustics to improve the acoustic environment and the development and promotion of new approaches in pain therapy. In the field of psychoacoustics, the focus is on going beyond pure sound pressure level measurement and understanding and improving the human perception of sounds in a holistic way. In the field of pain therapy, the foundation supports people with chronic pain in particular, focusing on a patient-oriented approach that puts the individual as a whole at the center of attention.
Psychoacoustics funding
The HEAD-Genuit-Foundation promotes modern technical processes, people and institutions from science and research that are committed to optimizing the acoustic environment in public spaces and in all types of buildings and institutions.
