Summary
Jonathan Peelle is a cognitive neuroscientist and leader with 15+ years of academic experience and over 25 years studying human communication across neuroscience, psychology, speech science, and linguistics. As Associate Director of the Institute for Cognitive and Brain Health and director of the Speech, Hearing, and Communication Lab at Northeastern University, he investigates how brains solve real-world communication challenges like background noise, hearing loss, and assistive device use. His joint appointments in Communication Sciences & Disorders and Psychology reflect a translational approach that bridges basic neural mechanisms and clinical applications. Having advanced through faculty roles at Washington University and postdoctoral training at Penn and the MRC, he combines rigorous experimental methods with practical problem-solving for communication health. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex auditory neuroscience into interventions and technologies that improve everyday listening.
