Kraus Lab: Designed experiments to investigate: (1) categorical perception (and context-dependent processing) of speech at a subcortical level, (2) the effects of emotion on the neural encoding of sound. Collected EEG and human behavioral data on above experiments and also to study the role of auditory processing deficits in children with learning disabilities. Developed Matlab software to analyze EEG data, primarily statistical analyses of energy levels in various frequency bands in human neural responses, as well as time-domain correlations. Data Analysis: hemispheric/laterality effects, pitch-tracking, Fourier transforms, phaselocking, stimulus-to-response correlations, root-mean-square amplitudes, statistics (ANOVAs, t-tests, correlations)
