Johns Hopkins UniversityUnited States

Marina Bedny is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University’s Krieger School of Arts & Sciences. Her research focuses on neuroplasticity and cognitive development, particularly how sensory experience shapes brain organization and conceptual understanding. Her lab investigates cortical plasticity in blind individuals, studying how 'visual' cortex regions repurpose for language, mathematics, and executive functions. She also examines conceptual development, exploring how blind and sighted individuals form abstract concepts like sight-related verbs or light phenomena. Key research themes include: Cortical Plasticity: Functional reorganization of occipital cortex in blindness, including cross-modal processing and executive control functions. Conceptual Development: Role of sensory experience in forming knowledge about events (e.g., 'sparkling'), objects, and mental states.

University of Illinois Urbana-ChampaignUnited States

Brian Monson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science at the University of Illinois' College of Applied Health Sciences. His research focuses on extended high-frequency hearing (8-20 kHz) and its critical role in speech perception, particularly in challenging listening environments. Dr. Monson's research interests center on understanding why humans can hear frequencies up to 20 kHz when conventional clinical hearing tests only assess up to 8 kHz. His work has demonstrated that extended high frequencies play a significant role in determining speaker orientation and improving speech comprehension in noisy settings. He recently received a five-year, $2 million grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders for his study The ecological significance of extended high-frequency hearing in humans . His research has important clinical implications, particularly for addressing the most common complaint among hearing aid users: difficulty understanding speech in noisy situations. Dr. Monson's findings suggest that current hearing aids, which don't represent extended high frequencies, may be missing a critical component for optimal speech perception in real-world environments. As an educator, Dr. Monson teaches courses including SHS 170 (Intro Hum Comm Sys & Disorders), SHS 240 (Intro Sound & Hearing Science), SHS 389 (Neuroplasticity and Comm), SHS 470 (Neural Bases Spch Lang), SHS 541 (Clinical Auditory Anat & Phys), and SHS 592 (Prosem Spch & Hear Sci).

Columbia UniversityUnited States

Sarah M.N. Woolley, PhD is a Professor of Psychology at Columbia University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a Principal Investigator at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute. She serves as Codirector of the Center for Integrative Animal Behavior and is a Member of The Kavli Institute for Brain Science. Dr. Woolley also participates in the Doctoral Program in Neurobiology and Behavior as Executive Committee and Training Faculty, and serves on the Advisory Committee and as a Scholar Mentor for the Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience program. Her research focuses on understanding how songbird auditory circuits give rise to song perception and control vocal motor circuits during song learning and production. Like humans, songbirds rely on hearing to learn, perceive and produce vocalizations for communication. They learn song by listening to and copying adult songs during a critical developmental period. This makes songbirds a powerful model system for studying the neural mechanisms underlying vocal learning, production, and perception. Dr. Woolley's work has revealed that songbird auditory systems have circuitry similar to mammalian cortical lamination, challenging previous assumptions about brain evolution. Her research demonstrates how social bonds influence early vocal learning and provides insights into what happens when vocal communication is disrupted, with potential applications for understanding speech disorders in humans. Her scientific contributions have been recognized with prestigious awards including the Searle Scholars Program (2007), University of Washington Royalty Research Award (2000), and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Undergraduate Research Fellowship (1990-1991). Dr. Woolley maintains active collaborations through her memberships in numerous professional organizations including the Society for Neuroscience (since 1994), International Society for Neuroethology (since 1998), and Association for Research in Otolaryngology (since 2002), among others.
