Our research is focused on the cognitive and sensory aspects of hearing with a cochlear implant. The overall arching theme of the lab is to understand the neural processes of hearing with a a cochlear implant in order to develop technologies to improve the lives of people with cochelar implants.

We will typically use high density EEG (electroencephalography) to help us understand how the brain processes sound when listening using a cochlear implant.

We are currently recruiting a postdoctoral fellow

Creating a brain computer interface (BCI) to help cochlear implant users with speech and music perception. Mastery of programming is a must. Cognition plays a big role in understanding speech and noise. This project includes developing a BCI with using the mBrainTrain system and testing for attention-related paradigms in a cognitive training program with cochlear implant users.

We are currently recruiting graduate students

We are affiliated with the University of Toronto Institue of Medical Scieces (IMS) program. Interested students should contact IMS and myself.
Projects can include EEG measures of speech in noise, listening effort, working memory, dichotic listening … in cochlear implant users.
