Event details
An ISVR Engineering Research Seminar
Sophie will talk about how developments in the neuroanatomy neurophysiology of the primate auditory system can be applied to functional neuroimaging data from humans, to reveal roles for functional and anatomical streams of auditory processing. She’ll also address aspects of hemispheric asymmetries in the processing of speech and sound.
Speaker information
Professor Sophie Scott , University College London. Professor Sophie Scott works for the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience where she is also Deputy Director. Her research focusses on the neurobiology of speech perception, including the functional sub systems in human auditory cortex, the evolution of speech, the difference between intelligibility and comprehension, and profiles of recovery in aphasia. This relates to her work on dyslexia and processing of emotional information in the voice. Sophie is also involved in a project looking at reading and rehabiliation in hemianopic alexia.
