Vibha Viswanathan
Postdoctoral Researcher
Vibha Viswanathan is a postdoctoral researcher jointly in the labs of Drs. Lori Holt and Taylor Abel (Univ. Pittsburgh). She received her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Purdue University, and her B.E. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Anna University (India) and the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), respectively. Vibha's research uses a combination of electroencephalography, stereo-electroencephalography, psychophysics, and computational modeling to study how the human brain encodes speech in complex acoustic scenes, how this encoding maps to perception, and how it flexibly adapts to regularities in the input speech and to any changes in the scene statistics. She also develops statistical and signal processing methods for neuroscience. Outside of work, she enjoys nature and traveling.
