Mer om författaren

Dr Helen Nuttall is a Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University, where she leads the Neuroscience of Speech and Action (NoSA) Laboratory. The NoSA Lab investigate research questions surrounding how speech, action, and cognitive function are represented in the brain; how these functions work in health and disease; and how they are affected by the ageing process, particularly with regard to age-related hearing loss. She has a PhD in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience. Dr. Kate Slade is a Lecturer in Psychology in Lancaster Medical School at Lancaster University. She is an outstanding early-career researcher pursuing research into ageing, hearing, and psychophysiology; specifically, the impact of hearing loss and effort needed for listening on the body and brain. She has a PhD in Experimental Psychology. Professor Chris Plack is a world-leading auditory scientist, and currently holds a joint appointment as Professor of Auditory Neuroscience at Lancaster University, and Ellis Llwyd Jones Professor of Audiology at the University of Manchester. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed journal articles, 16 book chapters, an introductory textbook on hearing, and two volumes as lead editor. In 2003 he was elected a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America. He has a PhD in Psychoacoustics.
