One size fits none: diversity in the symptomatology of patients is the key to targeted depression treatment

Depressed patients differ substantially in their response to pharmacological and psychological interventions. In this research, I will use innovative statistical techniques to embrace individual differences in the precise symptomatology of patients. This will enable me to estimate precisely which treatment is most likely to be successful for an individual patient.

More than words: Uncovering the effects of talkers’ voices on real-life speech perception by cochlear implant users

Understanding speech in the real world, outside the clinic, can be challenging. This project investigates cochlear implant users’ perception of speech produced by talkers with different voices and accents. Findings will identify difficulties cochlear implant users encounter in their daily lives, to account for them in clinical settings.
