development of speech understanding

Development of Sound to Meaning

How do neural representations of speech and phonemes emerge across childhood and adolescence? We use intracranial and EEG data to investigate when and how these representations develop.

Brain activity during speaking

How Speaking and Listening Interact

Speaking alters the way we hear. We study auditory feedback and neural suppression during speech production to understand sensorimotor integration in the cortex and insula.

How TSC Affects Language Networks

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) affects neural development and language. We analyze language function and intracranial recordings in pediatric epilepsy patients with TSC.
