Greg Hamersky
The Branford & Bernhardt/Cameron Scholar Oregon Health & Science University Neuroscience
Graduate Program
Greg is interested in in in in in auditory streaming the the the ability to to perceive a a a a a a single sound source in in in in in the the presence of cluttered acoustic environments More specifically how the brain represents spectrotemporal features of sounds to to to give rise to to to auditory streaming He studies neural neural responses in in non-human primates presented with complex sounds and uses tools such as neural neural networks to to investigate representational strategies underlying this perceptual ability Outside the lab Greg enjoys climbing making music and gardening BS in in Neuroscience
