Overview

Colette M. McKay is affiliated with the Bionics Institute in Australia, focusing on research in neuroscience and medicine. Their work is represented in diverse fields such as cognitive neuroscience, radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, biomedical engineering, speech and hearing, and sensory systems.

The scientist's research broadly covers topics including hearing loss and rehabilitation, optical imaging and spectroscopy techniques, noise effects and management, hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, genetics, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, non-invasive vital sign monitoring, and functional brain connectivity studies.

Frequent publication venues where McKay has contributed include:

  • PLoS ONE
  • Ear and Hearing
  • Trends in Hearing
  • The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
  • Hearing Research

Frequent coauthors in McKay's research collaborations are Darren Mao, Maureen J. Shader, Julia Wunderlich, Onn Wah Lee, and Tommy Peng.

The scientist has published several recent papers, such as:

  • "Comparing fNIRS signal qualities between approaches with and without short channels" (2020) in PLoS ONE
  • "Objective measurement of tinnitus using functional near-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning" (2020) in PLoS ONE
  • "The use of broad vs restricted regions of interest in functional near-infrared spectroscopy for measuring cortical activation to auditory-only and visual-only speech" (2021) in Hearing Research
  • "No Evidence That Music Training Benefits Speech Perception in Hearing-Impaired Listeners: A Systematic Review" (2021) in Trends in Hearing
  • "Cortical fNIRS Responses Can Be Better Explained by Loudness Percept than Sound Intensity" (2020) in Ear and Hearing
