Research Description:
Over the past 20+ years, my research has focused on understanding how the auditory system plays a role in enabling listeners to function in complex auditory environments. We use a combination of behavioral psychophysics, and objective measures including fNIRS, and more recently using electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate the association between human perception and neural mechanisms underlying auditory processes.
