Research Interests
Studies of the mammalian auditory system

Visit the Brugge Lab

Electrophysiological and anatomical studies of the mammalian (including human) auditory system. Emphasis is on auditory cortical mechanisms involved in processing information contained in complex sounds in space. Techniques include digital signal processing, single-neuron recording, and anatomical tracing of neural pathways.
