معرفی
Andréanne Sharp, PhD, is Assistant Professor at Université Laval’s Faculty of Medicine, Department of Rehabilitation, where she leads the Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience research axis. Her program explores auditory and multisensory processing across the lifespan, with emphasis on music perception, hearing loss, cochlear implants and vibrotactile technologies.
Research interests:
- Auditory-vibrotactile interactions and sensory substitution
- Music cognition and neural plasticity in musicians
- Aging, hearing impairment and rehabilitation
- Temporal processing and EEG correlates of perception
- Clinical translation toward improved prosthetic and therapeutic devices
Recent work (2023-2025) combines psychophysics, electrophysiology and qualitative methods to understand how musical experience protects perceptual skills in older adults with hearing loss, how frequency cues modulate auditory illusions, and how COVID-19 public-health measures affected communication in the hearing-impaired community.
Sharp’s output appears in high-impact journals including Brain Research, Cerebral Cortex, Ear & Hearing, JSLHR and Psychological Research, demonstrating a trajectory that bridges basic cognitive neuroscience and clinical audiology.
She maintains an active interdisciplinary laboratory, mentoring numerous graduate students and collaborating with engineering and rehabilitation teams to develop vibrotactile gloves and other sensory-augmentation devices. Grant and funding details are not disclosed in the supplied text.
