In "Dynamic estimation of auditory temporal response functions via state-space models with Gaussian mixture process noise," published August 19, 2020 in PLOS Computational Biology, researchers including Professor Jonathan Simon develop efficient algorithms for inferring the parameters of a general class of Gaussian mixture process noise models from noisy and limited observations, and utilize them in extracting the neural dynamics that underlie auditory processing from magnetoencephalography (MEG) data in a cocktail party setting.

Twelve tenured/tenure-track faculty members, seven instructional faculty members and 16 research faculty members were promoted.

We congratulate Quentin Gaudry, who was promoted to associate professor with tenure; Beth Parent, who was promoted to principal lecturer; and Bill Fagan, who was named Distinguished University Professor.
