Amineh Koravand is an Associate Professor in the Audiology Speech-Language Pathology program at the School of Rehabilitation Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Audiology from the University of Iran in Tehran, followed by a Master’s degree in Audiology and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences, specializing in Audiology from Université de Montréal. Her research focuses on the relationship between peripheral and central auditory systems in children, aiming to develop neurophysiological measures for assessing central auditory processing at subcortical and cortical levels during early childhood. This work is critical for preventing disorders related to brain plasticity. Furthermore, her lab investigates the effects of factors such as musical training, singing lessons, and bilingualism on auditory-speech deficits, utilizing techniques like Event Related Potentials (ERPs) combined with behavioral assessments. Dr. Koravand has received the Fonds de recherche en santé du Québec (FRSQ) award for her contributions to the field, reflecting her commitment to exploring the maturation of neural plasticity and the impact of enriched sensory environments on auditory processing.
