CAT Lab : The Laboratory of Cognition, Audition and Time
Description
Our laboratory studies the neural basis of audition in its normal and pathological functioning by analyzing behaviour and neural activity. We use electroencephalography (EEGs) to measure event-related potentials activated by changes in sound over time. We use advances analysis techniques to measures cortical changes in basic fundamental sound segments as well as complex continuous verbal speech. Our investigations are centered around the theme of auditory processing, temporal resolution, auditory attention, and neural synchrony in populations with normal hearing and tinnitus, hyperacusis, and auditory desynchrony.
