Professional Interests

My research is in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience and is focused on understanding the neural bases of auditory information processing in adults and children. Our laboratory's research uses a combination of non-invasive recordings of human brain activity in conjunction with behavioral performance measures, to specify the processes and brain structures that contribute to the organization, storage, and perception of a coherent sound environment.
