# overview
The goal of our study is to understand the neural mechanisms underlying the perception of complex sounds. We use a comprehensive approach of combining neurophysiological, behavioral, and computational modeling techniques towards that goal. We are interested in applying the results from these studies to the design of physiologically based signal-processing strategies to aid listeners with hearing loss.
