RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research is focused on developing a fuller understanding of the interaction between auditory processing and auditory sensory gating. Of particular interest are neural substrates in the auditory brainstem and forebrain that contribute to sound localization, prepulse inhibition of the startle reflex, the precedence effect, and effects of auditory grouping on informational masking. The experiments are broadly based in neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, immunochemical, and psychophysical/behavioral techniques. For studies using animal subjects, electrophysiological works are often accomplished in whole animals and makes extensive use of single-unit and focal field potential recordings. Combinations of axonal tracing and immunochemical techniques are used to determine the functional connections of the neural circuits under studies. Computer-controlled automatic mazes are used to test visual and auditory discrimination performances. Current human projects involve the psychophysical studies on (1) the acoustic conditions that lead to fusion of sound gaps, (2) spatial release of acoustic informational (speech) masking, and (3) the role of acoustic flankers in attenuating the bounce-inducing effect. The advanced Tucker-Davis Technology System is used to create acoustic stimuli, run experimental procedures, and collect data. In addition to these projects on auditory processing and gating, my research extends to the limbic-cortical structures that contribute to startle modulation, emotional leaning, reversal learning, and motive-motor gating. I am also interested in animal models of schizophrenia. My research emphasizes the combination of the three complementary approaches: (1) establishing appropriate parallel human and animal psychophysical/behavioral models; (2) conducting comprehensive electrophysiological, neuroanatomical, immunochemical and even genetic experiments in animals, in research for multi-facet mechanisms; (3) building the theoretical models for conceptual explanation of the experimental discoveries."
