My research interests are concerned with the auditory perception of modulation as it relates to both sound-source segregation and information processing. Experiments have investigated both the decision process used by the auditory system to extract information concerning stimulus modulation, and also the manner and extent to which this information can then be combined across the audio spectrum. Modeling efforts have focused on the role of modulation in the perceptual organization of a multi-source sound field and in conveying the information contained in speech.
