Shihab Shamma

Shihab Shamma is a Professor at École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris, France, affiliated with the Perceptual Systems Laboratory (LSP) and the GNT Team specializing in Hearing research. His office is located on the 2nd floor, room 203, at 29 rue d'Ulm, 75005 Paris. He maintains a dual professional presence with the University of Maryland, as indicated by his umd.edu email and faculty page.

His research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying auditory perception and perceptual systems. His work integrates experimental neuroscience with computational modeling to explore how the brain processes complex acoustic signals. This interdisciplinary approach bridges neuroscience, cognitive science, and engineering.

Dr. Shamma leads research within the Perceptual Systems Laboratory, where his team investigates the functional organization of the auditory cortex and neural coding of sound. His scientific contributions have advanced the understanding of how sensory information is represented and transformed in the brain. He is actively involved in mentoring and collaborative research, though specific advisees are not listed.

He is associated with the GNT Team (Hearing), suggesting a focused effort on auditory neuroscience and potential collaborations in hearing disorders, neural prosthetics, or bio-inspired sound processing. His work likely involves grants and interdisciplinary projects, although specific funding sources are not mentioned.
