Steven Jeffrey Eliades

Steven Jeffrey Eliades is an Associate Professor in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery at Duke University School of Medicine. His academic roles include membership in the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and affiliations with the Neurobiology Department. He maintains a dual focus on clinical otology and auditory neuroscience, operating both a research laboratory and a clinical practice.

Research Interests: The Auditory and Communication Systems Laboratory at Duke investigates the neural underpinnings of vocal communication, emphasizing sensory-motor integration and auditory cortex function. Key areas include vocal self-monitoring, sensory prediction, and comparative studies between human and non-human primates (particularly marmosets). His work extends to cochlear implant outcomes and auditory disorders.

Publication Trends: Recent work (2023-2025) spans

• primate auditory cortex dynamics during vocal production
• clinical otology outcomes
• marmoset communication models
• cochlear implant rehabilitation
• skull base surgical techniques
• vestibular disorder analysis

Grants: Active funding includes awards from NINDS, NIGMS, NIH, and NIDCD for research on cochlear implants, auditory cortex function, and sensory prediction mechanisms (2022-2029).
