Jennifer K. Bizley MSc, PhD, D.Phil

Jennifer Bizley set up her lab at UCL Ear Institute in 2011, as a UCL Excellence Fellow. She now holds a Sir Henry Dale Research fellow and is a Reader in Auditory Neuroscience. Previously she was a Ph.D. student at the University of Oxford, working with Profs Andy King and Jan Schnupp, where she was also a post-doc and Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow. Her main interest is in how the brain makes sense of the barrage of sensory information available to it. Her research focus is on the neural mechanisms of listening in noisy and complex - yet every day - listening conditions. This includes understanding how visual information and attention enable us to listen effectively. While much of our work is centered on understanding the auditory cortex we consider a number of other cortical areas including frontal and parietal cortex.
