<p>Two PhD student positions are available at the <a href="https://engineering.purdue.edu/SNAPLab" target="_blank">
<strong>Systems Neuroscience of Auditory Perception</strong></a> Lab at Purdue University.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We study the neural mechanisms of auditory perception in complex multi-source environments (e.g., how we listen at crowded restaurants or busy streets) using a combination of human neuroimaging techniques (EEG, MRI, otoacoustic emissions), behavioral listening
experiments, and computational modeling. In addition we are interested in the effects of overexposure to loud sounds and early aging on the auditory system, and how that affects perception. A notable capability of the lab is the ability to non-invasively
measure, and to model physiological responses at different levels of the auditory pathway from the cochlea to the cortex.<br>
