Focus of Lab

Under the leadership of Dr. Lars Rogenmoser, the Auditory Neuroscience Lab investigates the biopsychological mechanisms behind auditory (dys)functions, with a focus on music and language. Our research aims to improve hearing health and apply scientific discoveries to real-world challenges. The lab is also committed to training and mentoring emerging scientists and clinicians, fostering an environment that promotes innovation, growth, and collaboration.

We study the auditory system across the lifespan, investigating its connections to neuroplasticity and cognitive functions. A central focus of our work is understanding how hearing health influences the brain, through research involving diverse populations, including musicians and individuals with hearing disorders (e.g., tinnitus and hearing loss). Our approach is multidisciplinary, combining methods that primarily focus on behavior and electrophysiology (EEG, ABR), along with neuroimaging techniques.
