Auditory Cortex: Pathways, Processes and Plasticity
FY 2013-14
Summary
When we learn to recognize sounds, play ausical instrument, or speak a new language, we are making use of a highly complex set of brain mechanisms. Our research aims to discover how these mechanisms work, and how they are altered by training and experience. The research focuses on basic science, but the knowledge gained has implications for disorders of perception and learning, and for rehabilitation of these disorders.
