AUDITORY COMPUTATIONS LAB

This is the webpage of the Hechavarria lab (a.k.a. auditory computations (AC) lab). The lab is part of the Department for Neurobiology and Biosensors  at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main.

​

Our main goal is to understand the neural underpinnings of vocal communication. We rely on electrophysiology, computational modelling, brain perturbation techniques, and behavioral measurents to study hearing and vocal production. Our research is conducted in non-human animal models (bats and gerbils) and in humans. We always have several research projects running in parallel. These projects are conducted by Postdocs, PhD, master, and bachelor students under the supervision of Dr. Julio C. Hechavarria.
