My students and I are working to better
understand how people hear complex sounds such as speech and how experience
shapes the way we hear our world. Our research questions have encouraged the
use of many experimental tools. We study the performance of human listeners in
a broad array of tasks, and we use animal subjects to control effects of
experience. We also use neurophysiological recordings
to reveal auditory processes, and computational simulations of hearing and learning.
Although our emphasis is upon fundamental aspects of perception, our work is
being extended to practical problems or computer speech recognition and hearing
aid design.
