Dr. Amos Boasson

Amos is a viola player and a conductor. Amos is interested in the relationship between sound and motion; more specifically between changes in pitch and their possible covert motor concomitants. In his Ph.D. dissertation he has shown effects of the direction and magnitude of pitch changes on timing in tapping tasks, and indices of motor behavior (acceleration and EMG responses). He is now working on his third publication in which he extends his findings to a different change-detection paradigm using also brain measures including the very early ABR &FFR (frequency following response).
