Instructor:
Charles S. Wasserman, M.S.
Course description: (90-minute webinar) The human auditory system is complex and can be subject to a myriad of compromising lesions and/or dysregulation at many different locations, both peripheral and central. The basic perception of sound is traditionally measured behaviorally by an Audiologist; however, a more detailed assessment of each component of the auditory system can be completed using auditory evoked/event-related potentials (ERP). Join us for an introduction to auditory evoked potentials and auditory processing. This webinar will include:
1) an overview of the anatomy & physiology of the peripheral and central auditory systems/pathways,
2) outline the ERP measures of speed and accuracy of each component of the auditory system,
3) discuss different types of central and peripheral auditory processing disorders (APD) and when to suggest a formal APD evaluation,
4) an in-depth discussion of the technical requirements for recording auditory ERPs in clinical practice.

Instructor:
Mr. Wasserman is currently a neurophysiology research consultant and Audiology doctoral student at the University of Connecticut and is passionate about helping both his patients and fellow clinicians/researchers understand the brain’s role in auditory perception and processing. He previously received his master’s in behavioral neuroscience as well as an additional certificate in neurobiology of language as an NSF IGERT fellow at the University of Connecticut. His MS thesis focused on Neural Resonance Theory (NRT); using electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) to analyze steady-state responses to complex auditory rhythms from a non-linear dynamic perspective. Prior to his graduate training, Mr. Wasserman worked in the physiology sensor industry, focusing on developing wearable biofeedback devices, and custom development of HRV assessments, and physiological data for research.
Mr. Wasserman has worked in the field of clinical electrophysiology (assessment, diagnostics, and therapy) for the last ten years as a research specialist and clinician. Mr. Wasserman is published in the Journal of Neurotherapy, NeuroRegulation, and has presented several times at the International Society for Neuroregulation and Research (ISNR) annual conference. He was awarded the ISNR Student Paper Award (2018) for his master’s research looking at nonlinear auditory responses.
