Research:

Dr. Wang’s research is in the areas of auditory neuroscience and neural engineering. His work has focused on the understanding of the structure and functions of the auditory cortex and the neural basis of vocal communication. His laboratory has developed a unique experimental model, a highly vocal New World primate - the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus). Using this model system, Dr. Wang’s lab has systematically studied neural coding properties of the auditory cortex in awake and behaving conditions, revealed specialized cortical representations of complex sound features such as pitch and harmonicity and discovered neural mechanisms involved in vocal feedback control and self-monitoring during speaking. Using wireless neural recording techniques in freely roaming marmosets, Dr. Wang’s laboratory has been studying neural mechanisms underlying cortical processing of vocal communication signals in both normal and hearing-impaired conditions. More recently, Dr. Wang has focused on studying neural mechanisms for music processing.
