Research
Psychoacoustic Lab - University of Pittsburgh
Research in the Psychoacoustics Laboratory is concerned mostly with the way in which the auditory system processes temporally dynamic or time-varying sounds. This research has implications for the way in which we perceive sounds such as speech and music.
A considerable amount of research addresses the effects of cochlear hearing loss on auditory perception. The goals of this research are to understand the limitations imposed by hearing loss and to provide a strong basis for the development of signal-processing strategies for assistive-listening devices such as hearing aids.
