Frank Guenther
Frank Guenther is professor of speech language, & hearing sciences and biomedical engineering at Boston University. His research combines theoretical modeling with behavioral and neuroimaging experiments to characterize the neural computations underlying speech. He is the originator of the DIVA model, which provides a quantitative account of the neural computations underlying speech motor control and […]
Swathi Kiran
The primary goal of Prof. Kiran’s lab is to understand language processing and communication following a brain damage. Research in the lab makes use of Neuroimaging, neurolinguistic, psycholinguistic and neurobehavioral tools in investigating pertinent questions related to Aphasia. Some particular scholarly and practice interest of the lab are bilingual aphasia, aphasia rehabilitation, functional neuroimaging, language […]
Tyler Perrachione
Prof. Perrachione is the director of the Communication Neuroscience Research Laboratory. The lab’s work focuses on developmental disorders of language and reading, human voice recognition and social auditory perception, mechanisms of plasticity in the human auditory cortex, and brain bases of complex auditory processing, including speech and voice perception.
Jennifer Zuk
Jennifer Zuk studies factors in early childhood that shape the trajectory of speech, language, and reading acquisition, with the aim to facilitate positive outcomes for children susceptible to neurodevelopmental disabilities. Her research employs behavioral and neuroimaging tools with children from infancy through school age to study associations between the brain and speech, language, and reading […]
