Cognitive neuroscience

Research

My work examines how prior experience shapes perception, with a particular focus on speech, voices, and auditory neuroscience.

Research interests

How prior experience shapes perception.

I am a Neuroscience PhD Candidate at Western University working in cognitive neuroscience and speech perception. My current work includes questions about voice familiarity, neural speech processing, and the methods used to measure auditory responses.
