Our academics are at the forefront of exciting research that is shaping the future of audiology. Find out about the different research areas we focus on.
In the Chait lab we focus on auditory cognitive neuroscience. We research how listeners use sounds in order to learn about, and interact with, their surroundings.
Our lab seeks to understand how complex, temporally varying sounds (such as speech) are represented and analysed by neurons in the auditory cortex and thalamus.
Our research involves utilising the mouse for the identification and study of genes required for mammalian hearing, and the molecular processes underlying hearing loss.
The mosquito ear is one of the most complex sensory organs in insects. In our lab, we try to disentangle the complexities of the mosquito auditory physiology and to apply our findings to develop novel approaches to develop field interventions to control mosquito populations.
