معرفی
Brian Roberts is a Professor at Aston University's School of Psychology within the College of Health and Life Sciences. His primary research focuses on auditory perception, particularly auditory scene analysis and speech perception. He holds a PhD in Experimental Psychology (Auditory Perception) from the University of Cambridge (1989) and has held academic positions at the University of Birmingham (1993-2001) and Aston University since 2005. His work explores perceptual grouping mechanisms, cochlear implant listening, and the neural bases of auditory phenomena.
- Affiliations: Cognition & Neuroscience Research Group (CNRG), Centre for Vision and Hearing Research
- Employment History: Reader at University of Birmingham (2001), Senior Lecturer (1999), Lecturer (1993)
Research interests include auditory stream segregation, formant analysis, and the effects of stimulus properties on perceptual organization. He has collaborated internationally, including visiting appointments at Macquarie University (2019) and the University of British Columbia (2011). Notable achievements include being elected a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America (2009).
Recent publications investigate factors influencing stream segregation (2024), asymmetric timbre effects (2023), and lexical bias in consonant identification (2022). Current projects explore sudden changes in auditory stimuli and their impact on perceptual grouping.
