The Neuroscience Program at George Mason brings together experimental and theoretical scientists.

It draws from research in many departments — Psychology, Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular and Microbiology, Electrical Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.

Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience Experience lab    University of Arizona

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.
