Sound, Brain and the Science of Hearing | Neuroscientist Dr. Barbara Shinn-Cunningham
About this episode
Sharon Kedar interviews neuroscientist Dr. Barbara Shinn-Cunningham about the complexities of hearing and brain processing of sound.
What if some forms of hearing loss do not appear on current hearing tests at all? In this episode of Innovate & Elevate, Sharon Kedar sits down with neuroscientist, engineer, musician, and Carnegie Mellon Dean Dr. Barbara Shinn-Cunningham to explore how the brain processes sound and why hearing is far more complex than simply detecting noise. Together, they discuss hidden hearing loss, the “cocktail party effect,” ADHD and sound filtering, cognitive fatigue, aging, sensory processing, and the emerging science behind sound, music, and the brain.
