Overview

M. Charles Liberman is affiliated with the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in the United States. Their research principally explores various aspects of neuroscience with a strong emphasis on sensory systems, auditory function, and related disorders. Their work spans several subfields including sensory systems, cognitive neuroscience, speech and hearing, signal processing, and neurology.

The scientist's research focuses on diverse topics such as hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, and genetics. Their investigations also extend to hearing loss and rehabilitation, the effects of noise and its management, vestibular and auditory disorders, acoustic wave phenomena, as well as speech and audio processing including music and audio processing.

Among their recent publications, several key papers demonstrate the scientist's ongoing contributions to auditory neuroscience and hearing research:

  • Age-Related Hearing Loss Is Dominated by Damage to Inner Ear Sensory Cells, Not the Cellular Battery That Powers Them (2020, Journal of Neuroscience)
  • Primary Neural Degeneration in Noise-Exposed Human Cochleas: Correlations with Outer Hair Cell Loss and Word-Discrimination Scores (2021, Journal of Neuroscience)
  • Electrophysiological markers of cochlear function correlate with hearing-in-noise performance among audiometrically normal subjects (2020, Journal of Neurophysiology)
  • Envelope following responses predict speech-in-noise performance in normal-hearing listeners (2021, Journal of Neurophysiology)
  • Auditory-nerve responses in mice with noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy (2021, Journal of Neurophysiology)

Liberman frequently publishes in venues with a focus on auditory and neurological sciences, including:

  • Hearing Research
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Journal of Neuroscience
  • Journal of Neurophysiology

The scientist collaborates regularly with several coauthors, indicating an active research network. Their frequent collaborators include Pei-zhe Wu, Jennifer T. O'Malley, Stéphane F. Maison, Gabriel Corfas, and Victor De Gruttola.
