Audiology & Auditory Evoked Potentials Laboratory   (Room 7401)
Director: Dr. Brett Martin

Mission Statement:

Research in this laboratory focuses on behavioral and neurophysiologic processing of auditory information, especially speech.  Work in this laboratory examines:

• the neurophysiologic processing of sound in adults and children with normal hearing or sensorineural hearing loss
• the effects of aural prostheses (hearing aids, cochlear implants) on the

      neurophysiologic processing of sound

• the neurophysiologic processing of sound in adverse listening conditions
• the development of an electrophysiologic tool for the assessment of speech

      perception capacity

• brain-behavior relationships

This research bridges basic mechanisms and clinical application.

Equipment

Planned equipment for this laboratory includes:

• A 64-channel Neuroscan system capable of stimulus presentation, electrophysiological data acquisition, behavioral response collection and data processing
• A portable 32-channel system for off-site data collection
• BESA for brain electrical source analysis
• Computer stations equipped for data processing and analysis
• GSI 61 audiometer for hearing evaluation
• Tympstar middle ear analyzer
• Audioscan system for electroacoustic and real ear analyses of hearing aids
• Two sound booths
• Intelligent visual reinforcement audiometry system (IVRA)
• E-prime for behavioral research experiments
• Software for the recording, generation, and editing of sound
• Software for Klatt synthesis of speech
