Listening with Dr. Nina Kraus, Neurobiologist

In this episode China Blue speaks with the neurobiologist, Dr. Nina Kraus about how the hearing brain is vast and integrated with our other senses.

Nina Kraus, Ph.D., heads the auditory Neuroscience Lab Brainvolts and is a professor at Northwestern University. She is a scientist, inventor, and amateur musician who studies the biology of auditory learning. She began her career measuring responses from single auditory neurons and was one of the first to show that the adult nervous system has the potential for reorganization following learning; these insights in basic biology galvanized her to investigate auditory learning in humans.
