Stephen G. Lomber, PhD – Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Director of the Cerebral Systems Laboratory, UT Arlington
About the Talk
Stephen G. Lomber, PhD, directs the Cerebral Systems Laboratory at UT Arlington, conducting research that uses an integrated approach of psychophysics, electrophysiological recording, neuroanatomical techniques, and functional imaging to examine processing in the auditory cortex. His lab has pioneered the use of focal cooling to reversibly deactivate regions of the cerebrum. Work in his lab examines cortical plasticity in the presence and absence of acoustic input and following the initiation of auditory processing through the means of cochlear prosthetics. In 2024, Dr. Lomber received the Pioneer Award for Basic Science Research from the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) and the President’s Award from the Canadian Academy of Audiology. Dr. Lomber received degrees in neurobiology from the University of Rochester (BSc) and the Boston University School of Medicine (PhD).
