The purpose of my research is to gain control over experience-dependent representational plasticity in the cortical and subcortical auditory system. By manipulating epigenetic control of gene expression during learning, I aim to induce strong and specific representational plasticity to promote adaptive sound-cued behavior. I combine electrophysiological recordings of auditory evoked potentials with behavioral assessments of auditory long-term memory to derive predictive neural correlates of behavior. I am starting a postdoc at NYU with Dr. Dan Sanes in Summer 2021.
