Graduate Students:

Erikson Neilans, Ph.D. student in the Behavioral Neuroscience Area of Psychology B.S. (Psychology) University at Buffalo Research Interests: I am interested in the perception and production of mouse and bird vocalizations; in particular, my current focus is on ultrasonic communication in mice and potential neuroendocrine correlates.

Kelly Radziwon, Ph.D.  student in the Cognitive Area of Psychology B.A.  (Psychology and History) American University Research Interests:  I am interested in the perception of acoustic stimuli by mice and birds.  Future studies will include audiograms of house mice (Mus musculus), gap detection in mice, and distance perception in birds.

Mary Flaherty, Ph.D. student in the Cognitive Area of Psychology B.S. (Psychology) University of Pittsburgh Research Interests:  I am interested in auditory perception in both humans and birds.  I primarily work in Dr. James Sawusch’s lab at UB, where I study how our knowledge of words alters our perceptions of the segments that make up words.  I am currently working on a qualifying project in the lab, and am investigating auditory scene analysis in zebra finches and budgerigars.
