Jennifer M. Groh is interested in how the brain processes spatial information from different sensory systems. Much of her research concerns how the brain represents the locations of sounds via patterns of neural activity in the auditory pathway. She has investigated whether the brain uses an “analog” or “digital” code for sound location. In a
