Research interests
My major research interests are in psychosocial effects of hearing impairment and tinnitus and methods of assessment that bear on those problems.
I am also very much interested in auditory spatial perception (sound localisation) and the effects of impaired hearing on this and related auditory functions.
A second research interest, stemming from an interest in communication and its relation to perception, is the evolution of human communicative behaviour. With Iain Davidson I have written Human Evolution, Language, and Mind (Cambridge University Press).
