Amber's interest in auditory neuroscience began with her undergraduate experience with neurolinguistics at the University of Illinois, where she served as an assistant in Susan Garnsey's lab, conducting ERP investigations of syntactic ambiguities. She went on to pursue research in music perception under Andrea Halpern at Bucknell University. While at Bucknell, Amber also had the opportunity to work with Artie Shapiro, investigating low-level color and luminance perception using visual psychophysics. With this experience, Amber developed an appreciation of the topics of sensation and perception, which she was able to pursue further as a research assistant to Adriane Seiffert at Princeton University. There, Amber developed experience with fMRI and psychophysics, measuring visual attention and control. At Georgetown University, Amber has been involved in several research projects concerning auditory perception, including fMRI investigations of anticipatory auditory imagery, cortical reorganization in tinnitus patients, and auditory object perception.
