Our latest article is now published as VOR in @elife.bsky.social . We examine contributions of cochlear neural degeneration and pupil-indexed listening effort on speech perception in noise - elifesciences.org/articles/102.... This is a cross-species study and a labor of love from many lab trainees.
Increased listening effort and cochlear neural degeneration underlie speech-in-noise deficits in normal-hearing middle-aged adults
Cochlear neural degeneration in middle-aged adults with normal-hearing thresholds is associated with increased listening effort and behavioral deficits in challenging acoustic environments.

✨Thrilled to kick off 2025 by sharing our new paper, led by @abmongol.bsky.social, on how the auditory system’s encoding of precise timing cues (temporal fine structure) could benefit our day-to-day listening: www.pnas.org/eprint/IFCPF...
Individual differences elucidate the perceptual benefits associated with robust temporal fine-structure processing | PNAS
The auditory system is unique among sensory systems in its ability to phase lock to and precisely follow very fast cycle-by-cycle fluctuations in t...

Officially tenured🎉

I am truly grateful for the hard work of lab members, encouragement & support from my Chair & faculty mentors Karl Kandler, @lab_seal, @AfonsoCSilva and hugely supportive colleagues at Pitt, & support from the amazing auditory neuroscience community. It takes a village!

Someone call 911, graduate student Manaswini Kar absolutely killed this talk at APAN 2023!

Going to #APAN2023? Check out AM talk by soon-to-be-PhD Manaswini Kar on how active listening enhances vocalization categorization in A1! Also poster A49 by postdoc Marianny Pernia on call categorization deficits after temporary threshold shifts! See you Friday!
