Research topics
Auditory Neurosensory Science
Our research aims at finding neural correlates of psychoacoustic performance in human listeners. Our goal is to understand how sound pressure entering the ears leads to a representation of what we hear, and how sound is represented along the ascending auditory pathway and cortex.
Our research covers topics on sound localisation, loudness, modulation, pitch perception, and sound representation in normal, hearing impaired, and cochlear implant listeners. Our methods include psychophysics, otoacoustic emssions (OAE), electroencephalography (EEG), and functional MR imaging (fMRI) of the human auditory system.
