David B. Pisoni is a cognitive scientist who researches how humans process speech, language, and hearing. He studies how we recognize and understand spoken words, even in challenging listening environments, and how language develops. His work combines psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to explore the mental and neural mechanisms underlying communication. Pisoni’s research helps improve assistive hearing devices and supports individuals with speech and language disorders, advancing our understanding of human communication and how the brain supports language processing.
