Goals of Currently Active Research:
1. Evaluation of encoding of pitch relevant information in Chinese tones. The goal is determine if language relevant information is contained in FFR for listeners with native tonal language (Chinese) versus non-tonal language listeners (English).
2. Evaluation of the electrophysiological correlate of upward spread of masking using the surface recorded human frequency following response (FFR). The goal is to characterize the FFR correlate of upward-spread of masking in normal and hearing-impaired individuals using two-tone approximations of vowels.
3. Evaluation of FFR to tonal sweep trajectories in children with normal language and children with specific language impairment (SLI). The goal is to determine if aspects of temporal processing is disrupted in children with SLI.
4. Evaluation of the FFR correlates of cochlear non-linearity (2f1-f2). The goal is to compare DPOAE and FFR-DP to determine if these responses share response characteristics as expected.
Goals of Research During the Past three years:
1. Determine if the human FFR can encode steady-state speech-like sounds.
2. Determine if the human FFR can encode time variant frequency presented in tonal sweeps.
3. Determine if nonlinear phenomena like two-tone suppression can be evaluated using the FFR.
