Research interests
My research goal is to identify and model the representational and computational characteristics of the brain regions involved in naturalistic speech communication. Our understanding of how this process works is fragmentary because we do not yet have a complete model of the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms enabling this cognitive ability. My interdisciplinary approach incorporates theoretical and experimental techniques in invasive and non-invasive human neurophysiology, neural network models for speech processing, and computational neuroscience. Better models of the neural mechanisms involved in human speech communication can critically impact research in artificial intelligence, neurolinguistics, systems neuroscience, and translational medicine.
