Research Specialization Areas - Auditory Physiology
The study of auditory physiology provides the foundation for understanding mechanisms
that support auditory perception and communication. Knowledge of both normal and impaired
auditory systems allows for the development of potential habilitative or rehabilitative
interventions, which are fundamental to translational science. We build upon well-established
principles of both peripheral and central auditory physiology, using innovative approaches
in animal and human models (e.g., otoacoustic emissions, auditory brainstem response,
electroencephalography, brain mapping, functional near-infrared spectroscopy) to expand
our knowledge of auditory function and the important role it plays in everyday communication.
