I am a professor in the
Department of Psychology at the University of York.
You can download my CV here. I
run a
research group
with Peter
Bailey in 'Auditory
Perception and Hearing Health
Care'. I conduct research in two
areas: cochlear implantation and auditory grouping.
Cochlear Implantation
I work with a consortium of clinicians
and researchers to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of
cochlear implants
in the UK. You
can see a list of our recent publications in this area here. You can download the 'Actuarial
Program' that is described in publication number 12 here. You can
see a list of our recent publications in this area here.
Auditory Grouping
I study the
processes of auditory segregation and grouping
that allow listeners to
attend to one source of sound when several sources are present
simultaneously. This work has been conducted with Peter Assmann, John
Culling, and Michael
Akeroyd. I have contributed ideas to a
programme
of research on auditory neuro-imaging thatachas been carried forward
by Deb Hall.
Auditory Perceptual Training
Recently, Paula
Stacey and I have developed techniques for improving the
ability of listeners to understand distorted speech. You can see a list
of our recent
publications in these areas here.
