Associate Professor of Psychology

I am a member of the BioCognition Unit and study  the neuroethology of songbirBlack-capped chickadee - Mackenzie Sturdy, circa age 4d acoustic communication. I use several empirical approaches, from bioacoustic analyses of vocalizations, operant discrimination paradigms and field playback experiments to electrophysiological and neuroanatomical techniques as well as artificial neural network approaches, with the long-term goal of understanding the behavioural, cognitive and neural substrates underlying songbird vocal production and perception, auditory perception and cognition.
