Auditory Spatial Laboratory - University of Miami
This post brings you more from my recent work for the University of Miami and my latest adventure led me to the audiology lab. Dr. Hillary Snapp, an audiology specialist, gave me a tour of the Auditory Spatial Laboratory, and let me tell you, it was impressive.
Dr. Snapp's research is focused on auditory perception and how we process sound in space. Her lab is equipped with some pretty cool tools, like a head and torso simulator and a sound booth that can simulate different environments. I even got to try on a pair of headphones that had microphones built-in to capture my individual ear shape, which was pretty mind-blowing.
One of the most interesting things I learned was how our brain processes sound differently depending on the direction it's coming from. Dr. Snapp's research is looking at ways to improve hearing aid technology to better mimic the way our brain processes sound.
Overall, it was a fascinating experience getting to explore the Auditory Spatial Laboratory and learn about Dr. Snapp's research. It's amazing how much there is to discover about something as seemingly simple as hearing. I can't wait to see where her research takes us in the future!
