G. Nike Gnanateja

Nike directs the Speech Processing and Auditory Neuroscience laboratory at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Nike’s research in the SPAN lab investigates the neurophysiological processing of naturalistic speech with an eye towards developing ecologically valid objective tools to inform communication benefits from hearing rehabilitation strategies. His research uses a systems neuroscience approach employing multimodal neurophysiological approaches integrated with psychoacoustic tasks and naturalistic speech stimuli. His goal is to develop neurophysiologically informed, generalizable, and easy-to-use objective metrics of speech processing that can be seamlessly employed with hearing rehabilitative options.
