Our vision is to end suffering from misophonia.

Dr. Ward is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Sussex. He is the Co-Director of the Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarship Program “From Sensation and Perception to Awareness” and the Sussex lead for “Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience”. He is also the President of the British Association of Cognitive Neuroscience, and Founding Editor of Cognitive Neuroscience. His research focuses on sensory sensitivities and sound intolerances, including 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. Rouse is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Puget Sound. His research examines the how hormones and the brain interact, utilizing a songbird model system. More specifically, Dr. Rouse uses this model to study patterns of brain plasticity, learning, and social behavior. Dr. Rouse teaches in the areas of behavioral neuroscience, hormones and behavior, research methods and statistics, and comparative neuropsychology.

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. 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.
