Liberty Hamilton is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences and the Department of Neurology at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Hamilton completed her Ph.D. in neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley and her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco Center for Integrative Neuroscience and Department of Neurosurgery. Her research interests include how speech sounds are represented in the auditory cortex and how these representations change during learning, development, and as a result of plasticity. To investigate this, she applies computational methods to intracranial electrophysiological recordings from patients undergoing surgical treatment for epilepsy. She also uses noninvasive EEG in healthy populations to understand complex sound processing during naturalistic speech perception and production. Additional research interests include understanding speech processing in noisy environments, and how hearing loss may affect fatigue in virtual learning environments.
