Dan Bosnyak (Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour, McMaster and Technical Director, LIVE Performance Lab) did his PhD in neuroscience at McMaster University and has since studied plasticity in the human auditory system using non-invasive methods such as EEG, MEG or fMRI. He has studied both practice-based effects such as those that occur in people with extensive musical training, and de-afferentation based effects such as those that occur in people with moderate to severe peripheral hearing loss. In his new position as the Technical Director of the LIVELab at McMaster University, he oversees the use of this unique new facility and its multiple data collection systems.
