PhD student in Psycholinguistics, Ghent University, Belgium

Towards a model of disfluency production

This project will test key mechanisms that we hypothesize to play a role in the production of disfluencies, such as self-monitoring of speech and the coordination between speech planning and execution. The mechanisms discovered in the empirical work will inform a computational model, and we will try to simulate both our own findings and data reported in the literature.

Funded PhD Candidate Position - Perceptual Inference Group - Neural encoding of temporal expectations, BCBL, Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain

The freshly established Perceptual Inference Group at the BCBL studies how the subcortical and early cortical stages of the brain work together to make sense of the sensory world. This project will investigate how the brain learns to predict the onset of incoming sounds with high temporal precision, conforming the sensations of rhythm in speech and music. The project will make use a combination of modelling and high-resolution fMRI to explore the encoding of time in the human brain.
