Areas of Interest
Psychoacoustics, sensory processes. Our current research is
aimed at gaining a broader understanding of the manner in which
information at the two ears is utilized in order to detect and
localize sound (binaural information processing). In an effort
to determine the extent to which different aspects of the
physical waveform are used by the binaural system, modern
methods of digital and analog signal processing are employed to
control precisely the physical characteristics of the signals
presented to each ear. Data are obtained from human listeners in
a variety of psychophysical experiments.
