Interests
Bob's research focuses on human
auditory perception. He is particularly interested in how one's ability to
detect and recognize complex sounds is affected by both lawful and random
variation in sound, as occurs in nature. A goal of his research is the
development of mathematical models for
predicting detection and recognition performance under various conditions of
signal uncertainty. Bob also conducts research on the perception of complex
sounds by hearing-impaired listeners, and on the auditory abilities of
children.
