SUNDEEP TEKI

• My research is broadly focused on elucidating the cortical bases of auditory perception using behavioural and functional neuroimaging methods.                        I am interested in understanding the brain bases of segregation in complex acoustic scenes, and the neural mechanisms of rhythm and time perception. 


• Supervisors:  Prof. Timothy D. Griffiths, Dr. Alexander P. Leff
• Keywords:      Auditory scene analysis, Auditory object perception, Auditory timing,                    Rhythm and music perception, Auditory memory, Pitch, Tinnitus,                             Speech perception in aphasics.
• Techniques:   Psychophysics, functional MRI, Magnetoencephalography, Brain                                  morphometry, Dynamic Causal Modeling.
