  • Professor of Music

Fusing neuroscience, music theory, and computation I design sytems and methods for effective music therapies and auditory neurostimulation for clinical applications. Our research is published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Scientific Reports, among other leading journals. Funding was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Neukom Institute for Computational Science, Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC, UK).
