 Dr. George Moushegian died of natural causes Sunday October 15, 2006. Professor Moushegian was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Armenian immigrant parents Zakar and Nazig Moushegian on Jan.19, 1923. He spent his early years in Detroit, Michigan. Soon after the start of U.S. involvement in World War II, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1943. He was honorably discharged in 1946. He studied Languages at Harvard University. He received his Master’s Degree at Wayne State University earned his PhD in Psychology University of Texas at Austin.
Ever curious and wanting to learn how the brain works, Dr. Moushegian embarked on a long and illustrious research career spanning auditory physiology and psycho-acoustics. He started his post-doctoral research work at the Walter Reed Army Research Center under the direction of Dr. Robert Galambos. At Walter Reed, he and Professor Alan Rupert became only the second group in the world to record from the auditory nerve. Over the next four decades, his research and educational career took him to Syracuse University, Callier Center for Communication Disorders and the University of Texas at Dallas. He served as the director of the Callier Center, as well as the Dean of the School of Human Development in a dual role when the Callier Center joined UTD. He was the first appointee to the endowed Margaret Fonde Jonsson Chair in School of Human Development at UTD. Developing an extensive and sophisticated research laboratory at the Callier Center that is still productive today, one his team’s many research efforts resulted in the first magnetically driven hearing aid, for which he served as the first human subject. His team is also credited with discovering the Frequency Following Response in the brain. He worked into his late 70s and guided several undergraduate, doctoral and post-doctoral students in their careers. He retired Professor Emeritus at UTD. He had well over 150 publications in international journals.
