Scientific Focus
The overall goal of my research program is to develop a theoretically motivated, computationally explicit, and biologically realistic perspective on auditory cognition, speech perception, and language comprehension.
Methods
The principal methods used in the lab include psychophysics, MEG, EEG, ECoG, and fMRI.
