We use approaches from engineering, psychology, and neuroscience to study and improve speech communication and music perception with cochlear implants. Specifically, we are interested in…
Our goals are to better understand the physical and neural factors of pitch perception in acoustic and electric hearing, and to design novel electrical stimulation strategies for better pitch coding with cochlear implants.
We develop and evaluate novel training paradigms for both speech perception and production with cochlear implants. Our focus is on how auditory training may affect cue weighting and reduce listening effort in addition to improving clinical measures of speech perception.
