Response Properties of Duration-Tuned Neurons

I am a fifth year graduate student in the bat lab. I graduated from Mac with a BSc in Psychology and a minor in Computer Science. My honours thesis with Laurel Trainor focused on neural computational models of auditory processing. My research interests now lie in electrophysiology, with an emphasis on understanding neural mechanisms underlying auditory processing and perception. For my research I am investigating the central auditory system of the big brown bat. [E-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ]

Electrophysiology of Auditory Neurons in the Inferior Colliculus of the Big Brown Bat

I am an Honours Chemistry graduate from McMaster University, with a minor in Psychology. My research tries to understand how sound is encoded in the mid brain of echolocating bats using single unit extracellular techniques - with a current focus on studying duration tuned neurons. These neurons respond to specific auditory stimuli in the time domain. My interests include drumming, running and reading. [E-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Seasonal and Reproductive Effects Of Flight Membrane Wound Healing in Big Brown Bats

I graduated from Western University (aka. UWO) with an Honours Specialization in Conservation Biology. I am interested in studying wing wound healing because in addition to providing lift and powered locomotion, the flight membranes of bats also play vital roles in homeostasis, essential to bat survival and conservation. Baseline data on wound healing could provide important information for bat conservation when diseases like white nose syndrome (WNS) affect bat populations. When not at Mac I enjoy spending time with my wonderful boys, husband, cat and hamster. [E-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ]
