معرفی
Sebastien Paquette is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Trent University. He holds a BSc, MSc, and PhD from Université de Montréal, followed by postdoctoral research at Harvard University and McGill University. His research focuses on cognitive neuroscience, particularly music and voice perception, with an emphasis on leveraging these domains for rehabilitation in hearing aid and cochlear implant users. His work integrates neuroscience and machine learning to improve auditory processing outcomes.
His research interests include auditory emotion perception, cochlear implant efficacy, and the neural underpinnings of musical and vocal processing. Recent studies explore biomarkers for emotion perception improvement and the interplay between speech and affective signals in cochlear implant users.
Publications highlight advancements in understanding auditory rehabilitation, emotion processing deficits, and neural mechanisms in disorders like prosopagnosia and apraxia of speech. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, though his contributions to auditory neuroscience are notable. His lab at Trent University focuses on translational research to enhance assistive hearing technologies.
Dr. Paquette collaborates internationally and maintains an active research program with ongoing investigations into neurophysiological differences in cochlear implant users and cross-domain emotional processing.
