ACNE Lab 01-26-10 (Lg).jpg

 

The ACNE Lab addresses issues relating to the processing of complex acoustic signals such as speech, music, and other environmental sounds.  Current projects include examining how people learn the sounds of a 2nd language and how one’s native language can interfere with this learning; investigating the ability of listeners to “tune” their perception to the particular characteristics of a speaker (e.g., understanding someone with a foreign accent or disordered speech); and studying how the design of cochlear implants and hearing aids can affect the ability of listeners to understand speech in complex listening environments. This multidisciplinary lab works closely with researchers in Psychology, Linguistics, Neurophysiology, and Electrical Engineering.

If you are interested in participating in one of our experiments, please contact the Lab Manager, Sarah Sullivan at scsully@email.arizona.edu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   LAB ANNOUNCEMENTS!      image005.jpg                                                                         

 

 

image007.jpgThe 4th annual Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience Society (ACNS) conference took place on the UA campus on January 7th and 8th, 2010.  Visit the ACNS Society website for a recap. Thanks to all of our speakers,

           discussants, and attendees who made this year’s conference a success!

 

image007.jpgDavi Vitela, our 3rd year doctoral student, was granted a Graduate & Professional Student Council (GPSC) Travel Grant as well as a student transportation subsidy in connection with her attendance at the 158th Meeting of the

 Acoustical Society of America in San Antonio, Texas, 26-30 October 2009.  Congrats Davi!

 

image007.jpgThe Speech, Language, and Hearing Science department awarded Dr. Lotto with a Productivity Award for last year’s accomplishments.  This is the 2nd year in a row; let’s keep it up!

 

image007.jpgThe Hickok, Holt, and Lotto Trends in Cognitive Science letter is now available.  You can obtain a copy of the letter here, entitled “Response to Wilson: What does motor cortex contribute to speech perception?”
