Overview

Sukhbinder Kumar is affiliated with Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. Their primary research field is Neuroscience, with a particular focus on Cognitive Neuroscience, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, Speech and Hearing, Sensory Systems, and Psychiatry and Mental Health.

The main topics of Kumar's work include:

Hearing Loss and Rehabilitation
Neuroscience and Music Perception
Neural dynamics and brain function
Multisensory perception and integration
Noise Effects and Management
Hearing, Cochlea, Tinnitus, Genetics
EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces

Kumar has published extensively, with notable recent papers including:

"How Can Hearing Loss Cause Dementia?" (2020, Neuron)
"Consensus Definition of Misophonia: A Delphi Study" (2022, Frontiers in Neuroscience)
"The Motor Basis for Misophonia" (2021, Journal of Neuroscience)
"A Consensus Definition of Misophonia: Using a Delphi Process to Reach Expert Agreement" (2021, bioRxiv [Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory])
"Oscillatory correlates of auditory working memory examined with human electrocorticography" (2020, Neuropsychologia)

The scientist frequently publishes in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Neuropsychologia, NeuroImage, Neuron, and Frontiers in Neuroscience. The number of publications per venue reflects a focus on bioRxiv as well as key neuroscience journals.

Kumar collaborates regularly with several co-authors, including:

Timothy D. Griffiths
