Neuroethological approach to information processing in the vertebrate auditory system,
using behavioral, psychophysical, neurophysiological and neuroanatomical approaches
to unravel the neural substrates for sound localization, echolocation and recognition
of communication signals. Current research focuses on parallel information processing
in the central auditory system of the pallid bat, a species that uses both echolocation
and passive hearing to detect and locate prey.
