Participate in UofA Research on Impact of Noise A group at the University of Alberta has released an online hearing experiment investigating the impact of noise on following instructions (Pro00105017). This experiment is only available in English and should take less than 45 minutes. It needs to be completed on a laptop or desktop computer….
I recall as a student discussing the softest sound that can perforate an eardrum. We had learned all about the quietest sound across the frequency range that was still audible, but little was mentioned on the other end of the scale, above the pain threshold.

Even though this is an interview about
Brainvolts
it’s difficult to separate Nina Kraus from Brainvolts.
Nina’s mentorship is the crucial component for how her group has maintained such incredible productivity throughout her career. This brief paper will reflect on observations accumulated during the authors’ tenure in the Auditory Neuroscience Lab.
Ann Bradlow details how Nina’s research group created a sense of endless possibility and how she was lucky enough to enjoy this wonder for three years which turned out to be a pivotal point in her career as a linguist and speech scientist.
Kelly Trenblay tells us about Nina’s two passions – science and family.
Karen Banai describes how Nina’s work not only helps scientists deal with individual differences, but it also touches on the lives of so many human listeners, neurotypical and atypical alike.
Through her research and mentorship, Nina has made a lasting impact on our field and our understanding of the neurophysiological basis of speech perception. Erika’s writes how it has been an honor to be part of her “we” for the last 18+ years.
Gabriella Musacchia explains how one of Nina’s enduring legacies is striving to create an educational environment that feels like family and how she inspired generations of scientists to move hearing science forward and nurture the visionaries and leaders of tomorrow.
