Allen Awarded NIH Early Career Research Grant


Emily Allen received a three-year Early Career Research (ECR) R21 grant through NIH’s National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), totaling $581,250. By using advanced techniques such as mesoscopic MRI, subcortical neuroimaging, computational modeling, and resting state connectivity, the study titled “Functional and structural characterization of the human auditory cortex using high-resolution MRI,” aims to develop a reliable and precise method for defining and parcellating auditory cortex in humans,  and to provide the auditory neuroimaging community with a state-of-the-art multimodal structure-function characterization of the primary auditory cortex.

Congratulations on receiving this prestigious grant, Dr. Allen!

Emily Allen, PhD, research associate in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota and a member of the Auditory Perception and Cognition Laboratory, which is directed by Andrew Oxehham.
