Research

My research sits at the intersection of speech production, auditory perception, and individual differences, using methods ranging from electrocorticography to diffusion imaging.

Auditory Feedback

How does the brain use the sound of our own voice to keep speech fluent and on target? Using intracranial recordings during real-time auditory feedback manipulations, this work maps the cortical network — including speech-induced suppression and error-signal responses — that lets speakers detect and correct vocal errors as they happen.

Individual Variability

Not everyone relies on auditory feedback to the same degree. This line of research combines behavioral, functional, and structural measures — including white matter tractography — to explain why speakers differ in their sensitivity to delayed and altered auditory feedback, and what that variability reveals about the architecture of speech monitoring.
