Exploring the neural dynamics of communication
Neural Mechanisms of Selective Attention
Better understand the fundamental brain processes of selective attention—specifically how the auditory system suppresses irrelevant sound stimuli to enable focused perception
Auditory Cognition in Brain Health and Disease
We explore how the brain processes sound in both healthy and impaired states. By studying conditions such as psychosis, hearing loss, and tinnitus, we uncover how changes in neural processing shape perception, decision-making, and listening behaviour.
Auditory Comprehension Under Challenging Conditions
How can humans recognize and interpret meaningful auditory objects even under impaired or challenging hearing conditions, focusing on the neural foundations of this ability
