Sensorimotor control of speech and voice production: Insights from experimental and modeling studies

Invited talk at the Centre for Language Sciences (CLaS) Speaker Series at Macquarie University, Sydney (April 22, 2021) 🤓 Abstract Sensory information plays a critical role in speech motor control – from mapping sensory information to motor commands when we first learn how to talk, to maintaining accurate production in the presence of changing physical and environmental demands. For speech and voice production, this sensory information comes from both auditory and somatosensory sources. In this talk, I review findings from my postdoctoral work at Boston University that (1) examined the interaction between auditory and somatosensory feedback control during voice production, and (2) tested a simple 3-parameter model that quantifies the relative contribution of feedback and feedforward control mechanisms to speech motor adaptation. Together, these studies offer new insights into the relative contribution of different brain processes to speech and voice production and lay the groundwork for investigating these processes further in clinical populations. 🗣️ Connect with me Website: https://www.elaine-kearney.com Twitter:   / ek_kearney
