Dr. Laurie Bloomfield is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Algoma University. Her research focuses on songbird vocal complexity, examining both production and perception mechanisms across species like black-capped, mountain, and boreal chickadees. Utilizing fieldwork, lab experiments, and neural analysis, she investigates acoustic communication, species recognition, and auditory processing.
- PhD: University of Alberta (2002-2007)
- MA: Queen’s University (2000-2002)
- BA: Laurentian University (1996-2000)
Her work explores:
- Acoustic structure and function of chick-a-dee calls
- Cross-species vocal discrimination
- Neural correlates of auditory perception
- Environmental influences on vocal development
- Frequency-range discrimination and absolute pitch
- Comparative analysis of sympatric/allopatric populations
Recent publications emphasize neural encoding, computational modeling, and ecological adaptations in vocal communication. She maintains a lab in CC 103 at Algoma University, with contact details provided.
