Research Focus
Dr. David Schneider's lab at NYU studies how the brain processes sounds we make ourselves, particularly in skills like speaking and making music. By using mice as model organisms, his team investigates how neural networks in the auditory cortex respond to sound and how they help us learn and correct our behaviors based on what we hear. This research enhances our understanding of the brain circuits involved in learning through auditory feedback.
