Dr Monita Chatterjee

We have a long-standing collaboration with Dr Monita Chatterjee at the Auditory Prostheses and Perception Laboratory at the Boys Town National Research Hospital.

The long-term objective of her lab is to understand basic mechanisms underlying auditory and speech perception by individuals with normal hearing, hearing loss and cochlear implants. Her experiments include psychophysical measures of listeners’ sensitivity to subtle differences between sounds, measures of listeners’ sensitivity to speech intonation and lexical tone recognition and the processing of degraded speech by the normal and impaired auditory system.

Beynaz Goriani

We are collaborating with Dr Beynaz Goriani from the College on Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University on the analysis of auditory evoked potentials.  Her research interests include non-stationary data analytics, bio-medical and speech signal analysis, time-frequency signal analysis, and pattern recognition.

Takako Fujioka

We are performing auditory evoked potential and aging studies with Dr Takako Fujioka from the Department of Music at Stanford University.  Her research interests include brain plasticity in development and aging, recovery from stroke with music-supported therapy, and re-learning of speech and music after cochlear implantation.

Robert Morse

Dr Robert Morse is also collaborating with us on auditory evoked potential and aging studies, in particular for the Matlab programs to control our cochlear implant experiments and our psychophysical experiments with older and younger listeners with normal hearing. His research interests include stochastic cochlear implant coding strategies and improving hearing in lower-income countries.
