My lab focuses on the neurophysiology of the auditory system. Our primary interest is in the neural processing of complex sounds. In the past, my lab has examined the processing of human speech, and other non-speech complex sounds, by neurons in the auditory system. More recently, we have focused on the neural representation and perception of simultaneous sounds. Although humans and animals are quite good at separating sounds that overlap in frequency and in time, the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie this ability are poorly understood.
