Like many I was very sad to learn that David Huron passed away. David was my very first mentor/project supervisor when I was an undergraduate at Ohio State and he was responsible for my transition from music into research. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Last is a recently published paper stemming from an undergrad thesis by Rayna Adachi, looking at differences in subjective and objective measures of hearing when predicting loneliness and social isolation. A bit different from the lab's typical fare.

Comparison of subjective self-reported hearing and objective speech-in-noise perception as predictors of social isolation and loneliness in adults 60 years and older
Hearing decline in ageing increases the risk of loneliness and social isolation. This correlation is most often observed when hearing is measured by subjective self-report, and less often for objec...

Next up is a preprint looking at visual plasticity in age-related hearing loss using EEG. Takeaway is separate aging and hearing loss effects on visual evoked potentials, and there are differences between speech-like and non-speech stimuli.

A few updates from the lab / collaborations -- first up is visual cross-modal plasticity in CI users and speech outcomes, with Sunnybrook Hospital. Takeaway is longitudinal studies are needed to track visual plasticity in CI users over time.

Speech outcomes in cochlear implant users depend on visual cross-modal cortical activity measured before or after implantation
Paul et al. report that ‘cross-modal’ visual brain responses measured from auditory cortex correlate to speech perception scores in cochlear implant users.

I feel that the auditory research community has either not arrived here yet or is not very well connected. Please let me know who to add to this starter pack and self-nominate. 🧪

I'm looking for material to seed a "how to study" curriculum for undergraduates in neuroscience. Especially material that helps them wrap their heads around problem solving and generalization (not just memorization). Any leads?
