The CU Brain & Behavior Laboratory is interested in examining basic neuroplastic changes in the brain that occur in children and adults with hearing loss.  We are also developing tools to measure neuroplasticity in a clinical setting.

About Our Lab

Testing Techniques

In order to examine cortical neuroplasticity in clinical populations with hearing loss across the age spectrum:

  • We conduct both clinical (3-8 electrode) and high-density (64- and 128-electrode) EEG
  • We use a wide variety of techniques including sensory event related potentials (ERPs), resting-state EEG, and behavioral techniques
  • Our main lab is equipped with state-of-the-art, 128-channel high density EEG research systems and single channel low density EEG research systems, including a Compumedics Neuroscan Synamps II and an Electrical Geodesics (EGI) system.
  • Testing is carried out as our participants sit comfortably in a double-walled sound suite equipped with a large flat panel monitor, high grade speakers, supra aural headphones, insert earphones, and bone oscillator.
  • Because we work routinely with both young children and adults we have plenty of games, books, toys, and movies to keep participants happily entertained during testing.
