Research Interests
Auditory perception and cognition. My work has included
studies of the perception of complex non-speech sounds,
speech perception, music perception, and individual
differences in auditory capabilities. A major theme has
been the identification of the role of temporal structure in
the discrimination and identification of auditory patterns.
Facilities
The Auditory Perception Laboratory is equipped for
computer-controlled presentation of auditory stimuli
simultaneously to four listeners in a double-walled
listening booth. NeXT workstations are used for stimulus
presentation and data collection, as well as for digital
recording, synthesis and analysis of stimuli, and data
analysis.
