Lab People

The Communication Neural Systems Research Group draws on the strengths of its diverse staff to carry out its projects.

Prospective students for PhD (Comm Sci & Disorders or Neuroscience) and AuD studies should email Patrick Wong with resume/CV, GRE/MCAT scores, unofficial transcripts, and specific research interests. Decisions to admit students at Northwestern are made by special admissions committees and PhD students perform first-year lab rotations before choosing a lab upon agreement with the faculty investigator.
