This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), will support research to determine the circuit and physiological mechanisms underlying auditory contextual processing and perceptual adaptation. The $137,305 award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania will fund a 2-year project investigating how top-down connections from the auditory cortex modulate responses in the auditory midbrain and thalamus to enable flexible, context-dependent processing of degraded sounds. The research will utilize a combination of behavioral, electrophysiological, imaging, and computational modeling approaches to reveal the neural mechanisms enabling adaptive auditory processing in challenging listening conditions. The findings could elucidate generalizable principles about adaptive sensory processing and behavior.
