Cognitive Neuroscience of Hearing Lab
People
Principal Investigator
Dr. Kelsey Mankel leads the Cognitive Neuroscience of Hearing Lab (CNHL) at the University
of Memphis. Her research examines how the brain processes complex auditory information,
like speech and music, using neuroimaging tools such as EEG and eye-tracking. She
studies how experiences like music training, learning, and noise exposure as well
as cognitive abilities affect auditory perception and neuroplasticity. Outside of work, Dr. Mankel relaxes through activities such as playing music, dancing,
listening to audiobooks, and swimming.
AuD students

Amy Cox Amy is completing her capstone research project in the CNHL where they are continuing research into Cheech evoked neural responses. Specifically, they are evaluating the effect of intensity on Cheech evoked neural responses. Additionally, Amy loves to craft, especially crocheting stuffed animals. |
 |
Mira Milman (AuD-MPH) Mira is assisting with a project looking at current use and practices in audiology with electrophysiological tests in the US. She is interested in the connection between audiology and public health. |
