Our vision is to end suffering from misophonia.

Dr. Campbell is a Clinical Associate Professor in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. She is the PI of the Central Sensory Processes Laboratory. She is a licensed audiologist, received her Doctorate of Audiology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and holds a triple PhD from the same institution in the following fields: Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences; Behavioral Neuroscience; and Cognitive Neuroscience. Dr. Campbell utilizes high-density EEG methodology to study cortical plasticity of the auditory and visual systems across the lifespan, both in typical and clinical populations. She is currently developing objective clinical measures for use in tinnitus.

Dr. Ramachandran is an Associate Professor of Hearing and Speech Sciences at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He has extensive experience studying the relationship between brain activity and behavior, as well as in noise-induced hearing loss, particularly from the neurophysiological perspective. Since completing a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Ramachandran has been conducting research to further refine the understanding of the neural pathways, circuitry, and signaling that underlie hearing-related functions in noisy environments, and multisensory integration for the past two decades. Utilizing this research as a baseline, the research team at Vanderbilt University Medical Center continues to explore the evolution of noise-induced hearing loss with chronic noise exposure (such as in occupational settings), the effects of aging, and integration of dynamic (time-varying) cross-modal stimuli (stimuli that activate different sensory modalities). For his studies, he uses behavioral, neurophysiological, anatomical, non-invasive audiological methods, as well as computational techniques when applicable.

Dr. Rouw began her career studying psychology at University of Amsterdam, where she became fascinated by the question of why objective stimuli in the outside world are often such poor predictors of what happens in the rich, internal, mental world of a particular individual. This fascination was strengthened during a one-year visit to Kosslyn’s lab, studying visual mental imagery, and her Ph.D. work on configural processing of faces at Tilburg University. After obtaining her Ph.D., she returned to the University of Amsterdam as a faculty member. To unravel the connection between highly subjective sensations and behavioral and neurological mechanisms, her lab employs a broad range of techniques (e.g., in-lab behavioral experiments, large online studies, psychophysics, and various neuroimaging techniques). She regularly presents to non-academic audiences which is both fun and allows her to raise public awareness for unusual responses to stimuli as part of a ‘normal’ condition.

Dr. Shannon L. Delaney recently transitioned to her own private psychiatry practice in New York City and specializes in seeing children and adults with complex neuropsychiatric presentations, especially those with suspected Lyme disease or other tick-borne illnesses, as well as those with Pediatric Acute onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS). Dr. Delaney is the former of the Director, of the Child and Adolescent Evaluation, Lyme & Tick-borne Research Center and a neuropsychiatrist at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and was a co-investigator with Brian Fallon, MD on studies of adults and children with Lyme disease. Her clinical research focused on immune and infectious contributions to psychiatric disease, especially psychosis in children and young adults. She completed her NIH-sponsored research fellowship at Columbia University in 2017. She was a part of an initiative to establish a PANDAS/PANS clinical assessment, treatment, and research center with experts from the Columbia Departments of Neurology, Pathology, and Psychiatry.

Dr. Zach Rosenthal is a clinical psychologist and Associate Professor with a joint appointment in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke University. He is Director of the Duke Center for Misophonia and Emotion Regulation (CMER), leading a team conducting research, providing education, and developing clinical care pathways for Misophonia. He also directs the Duke Cognitive Behavioral Research and Treatment Program and is Co-Chief Psychologist for the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences. In addition to research, administrative duties, and clinical practice, Dr. Rosenthal enjoys teaching undergraduate and graduate students, mentoring trainees at all levels, and training community clinicians in best practices using cognitive behavioral therapies for adults.
