Education

B.M. Music Theory, The Ohio State University, 2010

Research Interests

I am interested in the neural correlates of perceiving and processing rhythms, top-down cognitive factors that modulate our hearing, deficits in auditory processing involved in schizophrenia, and music and emotion.

I also created and moderate a small community devoted to music perception and cognition on a social news website, Reddit. Please visit reddit.com/r/musiccognition.
