We study the functional organization of the auditory system at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We are particularly interested in top-down modulation and the impact of aging. Visit at llanolab.com

Excited to share our latest work, out now @jneurolang.bsky.social . We find "fuzzier" representations of phonemes in middle-aged adults despite normal hearing, driven in part by peripheral neural coding deficits. In collaboration with @soundbrainlab.bsky.social

Reduced neural distinctiveness of speech representations in the middle-aged brain
Abstract. Speech perception can decline in middle age even when hearing thresholds remain normal, and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are not well understood. In line with the age-related ne...

Our new work investigating multiplexing and mixed selectivity in auditory inferior colliculus neurons is up on bioRxiv 🎉 doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Neurons in the inferior colliculus use multiplexing to encode features of frequency-modulated sweeps
Within the central auditory pathway, the inferior colliculus (IC) is a critical integration center for ascending sound information. Previous studies have shown that many IC neurons exhibit receptive f...
