Emily B.J. Coffey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Concordia University. Her research focuses on neuroplasticity in relation to complex tasks, particularly through the lens of musicianship and language interaction. Utilizing a range of neuroimaging techniques, including MEG, EEG, fMRI, DWI, and VBM, her lab investigates the neural mechanisms underlying auditory processing, particularly in challenging listening environments such as hearing-in-noise. Additionally, she explores how these neural bases interact with sleep-dependent memory consolidation and the effects of closed-loop auditory stimulation. Her work aims to develop training and sleep interventions that enhance auditory language functions, ultimately improving learning throughout the lifespan.
Administered by the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema; focuses on cinematic arts practice and research-creation.
