Research Interests
We are interested in vocal communication. Our current research is primarily interested in auditory self-monitoring during vocal production, and the control of voice. We examine this using basic science models as well as normal human subjects and patients with hearing and voice disorders. We are also interested in hearing and sensory processing in naturalistic listening environments, and the neural and social origins of vocal decision making. Finally, we have interests in learning and plasticity in cochlear implant patients.
