Emily Coffey is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Concordia University in Montréal, where she holds the Concordia University Research Chair in Sleep and Sound and directs CL:ASP (Coffey Lab: Audition, Sleep and Plasticity). She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from McGill University. Her lab studies how the brain and body respond to trigger sounds. The lab has proposed a framework for cognitive models of misophonia, shown that autonomic responses to triggers persist even when attention is redirected, and openly released the MisoBrain dataset, which combines brain imaging, physiological, and behavioural data from 100 participants. Emily co-edited a special issue of Hearing Research on misophonia and hyperacusis, and is committed to open science and to research that brings people with misophonia, clinicians, and scientists together.
