​As another summer comes to an end, it's time to say goodbye to our wonderful summer students. Over the past few weeks, they have become valued members of our team, bringing enthusiasm, curiosity, and fresh perspectives to the lab. We wish them every success in their future studies and careers!

We have two students joining our lab from Princeton this summer for various fun projects. This picture is related to a study we were piloting on mild cognitive impairment. 

​Sound-offset responses can be robustly identified at the single-subject level using EEG. Sound-offset responses were larger in the active task than in passive listening, suggesting task dependency and indicating that attention may be involved in sound-offset encoding. Active sound-offset responses correlate with sentence-level speech-in-noise performance.

New publication investigating the auditory cognitive factors contributing to speech-in-noise perception in a large sample. 

This work we highlighted the importance of central auditory processing in speech-in-noise perception in addition to age and pure-tone audiogram, including sound segregation, auditory memory, and temporal processing.

Ester will continue her academic journey in Spain. We will miss you Ester!

Xiaoxuan just graduated her PhD. Wishing you every success in your next chapter.

Dr Meher Lad has just won the Newcastle University Medical Sciences Doctoral Thesis Prize for the wonderful thesis he's recently submitted for his PhD on hearing, memory, and MCI. A preprint will be out soon and you are welcome to contact us for further information if you're interested in this topic! Congratulations Meher!
