Meet the Team!
Paul FaurePrincipal Investigatorpaul4@mcmaster.ca
I am a neuroethologist. My research interests are in animal bioacoustics (echolocation calls and other vocalizations ), neural mechanisms of hearing (electrophysiology) and acoustically-evoked behaviour (e.g. acoustic startle response), and integrative physiology (i.e. hormones and reproduction, cutaneous wound healing).
