The Auditory Physiology and Biophysics laboratory (aka the Manis Lab) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studies the neuroscience of hearing, using a combination of physiological, biophysical, and molecular methods, complemented by a good dose of computational or neural modeling. We study both the cellular and network mechanisms that are necessary for normal hearing and auditory perception, as well as the consequences of hearing loss for the function of those mechanisms.

The pages here are provided as a supplement the static site (http://www.med.unc.edu/~pmanis). The principal goal for this site is to provide a dynamic portal for the lab, including methods, tips, observations, comments on interesting papers, and of course a repository for lab software. Over time, information from the static site will be migrated to this site.

The Articles section has static files for reference (grants, abstracts, whitepapers). The WIKI is for the main user-editable dynamic content of the lab. If you have a procedure, software, or other information that would be of general interest to the lab, then you can create a page here and link it to other relevant pages. The Forum is for intra-lab discussion of methodlogical and operational issues. File downloads should be in the Downloads section, but may be linked from Articles, the WIKI, or the Forum.

To use this site, you either need to be a current or past member of the lab, or a registered user. Visitors have limited access to the content. You can register by clicking on the registration link on the left. It may take a few days to get approved.
