Research Focus
Dr. Jennifer Groh's lab at Duke University studies how the brain processes and preserves information from multiple sensory stimuli, focusing on auditory processing. The research aims to uncover the mechanisms that help our brain select and remember important information despite sensory overload. This work has implications for understanding communication difficulties in conditions like attention deficit disorder and age-related hearing loss.

Research Aims
5AIM 01Investigate how neural populations encode multiple stimuli simultaneously.
AIM 02Explore the role of the inferior colliculus in auditory processing tasks.
AIM 03Examine the coordination of neural fluctuations across sensory and motor areas.
AIM 04Assess the impact of cognitive load on information preservation and selection.
AIM 05Understand how deficits in these processes relate to auditory processing disorders.
