Anthony Herdman

Dr. Tony Herdman is an Associate Professor in the School of Audiology and Speech Sciences at the University of British Columbia. His teaching includes graduate training of students in audiology and speech sciences with particular focus on advanced hearing sciences and electrophysiology. Dr. Herdman’s research program focuses on understanding the brain dynamics that underlie psychological phenomena involved in auditory and visual perceptions, audiovisual integration, attention, and language. He uses behavioural and electrophysiological (EEG & MEG) measures to study fundamental principles of these systems and how they develop. Another major research area is on advancing and validating neuroimaging methods for EEG and MEG. Dr. Herdman is particularly fascinated by how a human brain functions and communicates across multiple dimensions (space, time, and frequency) and how such communication is altered by experience as a brain develops its abundant abilities.
