Program Grant support

The lab will be supported by a five-year MRC programme grant from 2020, ‘Cortical determinants of human auditory cognition’. The funded work examines aspects of auditory cognition that determine speech-in-noise listening that require the cerebral cortex. There will be a behavioural and EEG component in Newcastle, an imaging component based on 3T and 7T fMRI at the Wellcome Centre for Human neuroimaging and an invasive neurophysiology component carried out in Iowa.
