Currently investigating and phenotyping auditory characteristics in several rare genetic disorders. These projects are multidisciplinary and involve collaboration with otolaryngology, neurology and geneticists.
Participating in several projects in which heritability of auditory processing skills is being evaluated. One study involves an annual trip to a Twins Festival in which data is gathered on monozygotic and dizygotic twins to evaluate heritability. Another study is investigating auditory function in a group of subjects with tune deafness. Measures of interest include otoacoustic emissions and pitch perception.
