Joseph Sisneros is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington. His research interests lie in the realm of neuroethology and sensory neurobiology, focusing on how adaptive plasticity in sensory systems encodes biologically relevant signals that are critical for social reproductive behaviors. His laboratory specifically investigates fish model systems to explore how ontogenetic and steroid-dependent seasonal changes affect auditory system functionality, particularly with respect to sound source localization. By examining how fishes detect and respond to underwater sound sources amidst varying acoustic environments, Sisneros contributes valuable insights into the complexities of animal communication and behavior. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in prominent journals, including the Journal of Neurophysiology and the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, highlighting his contributions to auditory neuroscience and behavior in aquatic environments. Through his work, he aims to deepen the understanding of auditory processing and its implications for social interactions among fish species.
