Interests
Multi-electrode recordings are made simultaneously from three or more auditory cortical areas in response to complex, speech-like, sound stimuli to study the effects of plastic topographic map changes induced in auditory cortex by cochlear hearing loss. Evoked potentials are used to study maturational status of the auditory cortex and cortical temporal processing in children with learning disorders and language delay, and compared to a battery of behavioral tests. We also study the long-term cortical changes occurring after sudden unilateral hearing loss.
