Welcome to the Neural Acoustic Processing Laboratory at Columbia University. Our research is dedicated to understanding and engineering the future of human auditory communication, and it is built on three core pillars:

Neural Basis of Auditory Cognition

Discovering how the brain encodes speech, language, and music in complex, naturalistic listening environments.

Auditory Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)

Creating real-time systems that decode auditory attention from neural signals, enabling assistive hearing and communication devices.

AI for Audio & Brain Modeling

Building generative AI for speech and audio while using deep learning models as in silico platforms to probe brain computation.
