Speech Motor Action + Control
SMAC undergrad, Taijing Chen, has been awarded a Hilldale Undergraduate Research Fellowship for the summer of 2020. Taijing will be working on a computational modeling project to look at how people generalize speech motor learning.
SMAC undergrad, Jenna Krakauer, receives the Sophomore Honors Summer Apprenticeship from the Letters & Science Honors Program at UW–Madison. Jenna will be working on a project looking at how divided attention affects sensorimotor adaptation in speech.
SMAC lab member, Taijing Chen, presents a poster on the topic of auditory feedback at UW–Madison’s Undergraduate Research Symposium. Unreliable auditory feedback leads to decreased sensitivity to auditory errors Taijing Chen, Ben Parrell When we speak, we use our prior expectations and sensory feedback to speak more accurately. To determine how the reliability of auditory …
BLAB postdoc, Sarah Bakst, and SMAC P.I., Ben Parrell, speak about current research at the UCSF Symposium: Neural Bases of Speech Production. Previous exposure to sensory feedback noise causes a decrease in online compensation for sensory perturbations in speech. Ben Parrell You can find the abstract here. Self-monitoring in L1 and L2: A …
