Dr. Cory T Miller's lab at UC San Diego focuses on understanding how primates, specifically common marmosets, recognize and engage in vocal communication in noisy environments, akin to a 'cocktail party'. The lab employs innovative behavioral paradigms and neurophysiological recordings to investigate the brain mechanisms involved in parsing auditory signals amidst competing sounds. Their research has implications for understanding auditory recognition disorders in humans and the underlying neural circuits involved in complex auditory environments.
