Hearing Loss is Reflected in Conversational Pupil Responses
Here we demonstrate that hearing loss affects pupil responses during conversation, and that it does so differently from background noise.

Variable Delay Affects Turn-Taking Behavior in Noise
This study is, to our knowledge, the first to manipulate the turn-taking dynamics of conversation in real-time. We implement and vary the delay on a communication line between two talkers while they interact. This delay introduces perceived increases in the...
Pupil Responses During Interactive Conversation
This study is, to our knowledge, the first to examine the time-course of pupil responses at fine temporal scales during conversation. We derive pupillary temporal response functions to different turn-taking and examine how these responses vary based on expected conversational...

Analysis of Physiological Measures Around Conversational State Changes
Derivation of pupillary temporal response functions within conversations. Here we introduce a method for analyzing pupil responses during conversation, a task which had not previously been attempted in any fine temporal detail due to the complexity introduced by the necessary...
The Effects of Delay on Task-Based Interactive Conversation
Behavioral experiment based on novel a acoustic environmental intervention. This experiment was based upon a novel real-time processing system which manipulated the turn-taking dynamics of a conversation as it was happening. By applying a delay to the microphone of one...
Measurement of Tympan Directionality
Experimental testing of directionality characteristics of an open-source hearing aid. This was part of my undergraduate research at Purdue University. I was working in the Experimental Amplification Research (EAR) Lab with Dr. Joshua Alexander. We conducted this study as part...
