Sasha Devore Eaton-Peabody Laboratory Email: sashad at mit dot edu |
I am a graduate student in the Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology Program,
an interdisciplinary PhD program that is part of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Science and Technology.
I am a member of Bertrand
Delgutte's Neural Coding Laboratory, part of
the Eaton-Peabody Laboratory at the
Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. I occasionally spend time in Dr. Barbara Shinn-Cunningham's
Auditory Neuroscience
Lab at Boston University.
My research interests include the
neural basis of auditory perception, in particular the neural basis of spatial
hearing and auditory scene analysis. Currently, my research involves an
interdisciplinary approach to understanding how the auditory system
encodes the location of sound sources in natural e.g., reverberant and
multi-source environments. I study the responses of single units in
the auditory pathway of unanaesthetized (passively listening) animals as well as the
behavioral responses of human subjects (performing basic psychophysical
tasks) with an eye towards developing
computational models of neural processing that can link the responses of single neurons with the behavioral response of a whole
organism (the human!).
