Research project funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to study the neural mechanisms of speech perception in noisy environments using EEG techniques.
Description
This project investigates how auditory cortical responses vary with background noise using EEG methods, aiming to elucidate the neural basis of speech perception difficulties in noisy environments. The research will reveal how the brain integrates speech information over time, both in silence and with background noise, using novel EEG paradigms. It aims to understand the neuroanatomical basis of temporal integration window flexibility and its implications for speech perception deficits in neurodevelopmental and attentional disorders.
