I am broadly interested in perception, perceptual organization, and sensory neuroscience. My research explores efficient coding in auditory perception through two avenues: enhancing sensitivity to new information, and extracting redundancy from the environment. This work utilizes multiple methods in a broad approach to perceptual organization by exploiting statistics of natural soundscapes in speech sounds, creating novel psychophysical stimuli, computational modeling of perceptual learning, and examining perceptual development in research with infants.
