Nihaad Paraouty

I was trained in psychology at university Paris V and I obtained my Master’s Degree in cognitive sciences at Ecole normale supérieure (ENS Paris, CogMaster). My Ph.D. at the LSP focused on how the auditory system encodes frequency modulated sounds, using several approaches and techniques: psychoacoustical, single-cell electrophysiology in the brainstem and modeling. I was supervised by Prof. Christian Lorenzi (LSP) & by Prof. Ian Winter (Univ. of Cambridge, UK). I am now off for a post doc with Prof. Dan Sanes at the Center for Neural Science at NYU, to work on auditory learning. 

My Ph.D. focused on the processing of the temporal structure of sounds by the normal and impaired auditory system in both humans and animal models. I studied the auditory perception of two types of temporal modulations of the acoustic signal: the temporal envelope & temporal fine structure cues. I showed how these two cues are processed in the early auditory system (in the cochlear nucleus), and their relevance to human behavioural data.
