Overview
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Psychology & Neuroscience
My research interests are focused on how perception, attention, and memory interact to organize and extract meaning from complex auditory scenes, such as speech in noise and music. Through my graduate training, I will gain expertise in utilizing single-unit intracranial recordings to explore auditory perception in rhesus macaques, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore multisensory representations underlying object recognition and subsequent memory, and electrocorticography (ECoG) in a patient with musicogenic epilepsy.
Prior to the start of my graduate studies, I conducted research as an undergraduate at Duke University in a variety of topics including, speech perception, auditory imagery, music and memory in individuals with dementia, and brain-computer interfaces for individuals suffering from severe paralysis. I look forward to continuing to explore my interests in auditory perception through my graduate studies.
