An important facet of the work that we do in the lab is to study spoken language, in particular voice and articulation—the sensorimotor components of language—as well as their aging. We have already introduced the components of speech through a trumpet analogy; today we describe the analyzes we perform to study voice and speech!
A major challenge facing research teams working with human participants is to find participants who meet specific criteria in order to reduce as many confounding variables as possible.
An important aspect of our work is the study of voice, speech and resonance, that is, the sensorimotor components of language production, as well as their aging.
