Functional Pathways in the Auditory System
Mammalian hearing is subserved by a highly complex and interconnected system of bilaterally-located nuclei. A long-term goal of our research program is to identify functional pathways (patterns of afferent convergence) in the auditory system using a variety of neuroengineering and quantitative physiological approaches.

Auditory Processing of Sound Localization Cues
Psychoacoustic experiments have revealed that three cues contribute to our ability to localize sounds in space: between-ear differences in sound arrival time and level, and spectral cues. A long-term goal of our laboratory is to investigate how these sound localization cues are encoded and transformed within the auditory system. More info...

Computational Models of the Auditory System
The overall goals of our laboratory are to understand how the brain represents and perceives the acoustic environment and how the neural systems in the brain are organized to create this representation. Our multidisciplinary approach combines physiological techniques, pharmacological manipulations and computer modeling studies. More info...
