Antje Ihlefeld studied Electrical Engineering at the
Dresden University of Technology, Germany. In 2000 she received a scholarship from the Dresdner Bank Cultural Foundation,
giving her the opportunity to study in the U.S. Antje subsequently developed an interest in processing strategies of the human auditory system
and stayed in the U.S. She received a M.A. and a
Ph.D. in Cognitive and Neural Systems from Boston University, working under supervision of Barbara Shinn-Cunningham. In 2007 she worked with Cochlear Implant listeners in Bob Carlyon's group at the
MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (Cambridge, U.K.). Currently she is a post-doc at Sargent College (Boston University), working with Gerald Kidd and Chris Mason.
Her research interests include:
Binaural Hearing : How is information combined across the two ears in speech understanding? (Psychophysics)
Auditory Spatial Attention: How does attention to auditory spatial features affect speech intelligibility?
(Psychophysics and Modelling)
Spatial Hearing : How do human listener localize sounds in reverberant rooms? What is the role of interaural level differences (Psychophysics and Modelling)
Listening with Cochlear Implants: Temporal coding of pitch (Psychophysics)
