Our lab has 3 principal directions:

  • Hearing
  • Hearing Loss
  • Hearing Restoration

We use a variety of techniques

Electrophysiological Recordings

We use multicellular recording techniques to examine the activity of individual neurons in both acute and chronic experimental preparations.

Psychophysical Techniques

We use many psychophysical testing paradigms to examine both visual and acoustic function in our experimental subjects.

Histological Tissue Processing

We use histochemical techniques to reveal the circuitry underlying the functional changes identified in our behavioural and electrophysiological assessments.

Functional imaging

We use structural, functional, and DTI MRI techniques to study differences between hearing and deaf individuals, revealing variations in anatomy, neuronal activation, and pathways.


We have specialized equipment for performing a wide range of experiments
