Heather A. Hansen studies how the brain processes sound and attention, with a particular focus on misophonia—a condition marked by strong negative reactions to specific everyday sounds like chewing or breathing. Her work combines behavioral experiments, brain imaging (looking at both brain activity and the brain's white matter wiring), and the creation of open datasets, such as a public library of sounds for misophonia research (FOAMS), to help researchers study these reactions more consistently.
