New M.S. program in Auditory and Language Neuroscience
ASU’s Auditory & Language Neuroscience Master's Degree Program
*Announcement: Applications are now being accepted for the new Auditory & Language Neuroscience Master’s Degree Program!*
The MS degree program in auditory and language neuroscience in the College of Health Solutions trains scholars in basic and applied research in the fields of auditory and language neuroscience to prepare them for doctoral-level graduate studies as well as for positions in science, health care and industry. In addition to cutting-edge coursework in general and computational neuroscience, this program also includes hands-on training in instrumentation and research applications. Students develop a strong foundation to conduct impactful neuroscience research related to auditory and language processing and human communication.
The MS degree program in auditory and language neuroscience offers customized hands-on research training opportunities, including two lab rotations in the first year, and a thesis or applied project in a laboratory in the second year.
Some of the possible labs for these training opportunities include:
Dr. Tamiko Azuma: Attention, Memory and Language Laboratory
Dr. Yi Zhou: Auditory Computation and Neurophysiology Laboratory
Dr. Xin Lou: Auditory Implant Laboratory
Dr. William Yost: Auditory Perception Laboratory
Dr. B. Blair Braden: Autism and Brain Aging Laboratory
