Biography

Claude Alain is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research focuses on the brain processes that support auditory scene analysis and memory. He employs a combination of neuroimaging techniques, such as EEG, MEG, and fMRI, to investigate how different brain areas work together to perceive, attend to, and remember auditory objects. His interests also include how these processes change with age and how they are influenced by factors such as bilingualism and musicianship. Alain's research group examines the interplay between attention and memory, particularly in challenging listening environments, and is developing new EEG measures for applications in perception and cognition. He has mentored numerous students and postdoctoral fellows who have progressed to successful careers in academia and health care facilities.
