I am a computational and cognitive neuroscientist specializing in speech and sensorimotor control. My research combines theoretical modeling with behavioral and neuroimaging experiments to characterize the neural computations underlying these faculties in humans. I also develop brain-computer interfaces to restore synthetic speech and other communication skills to paralyzed individuals. My laboratory’s research has been covered extensively in the science and popular media, including television spots on CNN News, PBS News Hour, and Fox News; articles in popular science magazines Discover, Scientific American, and Popular Science; and popular press coverage in Esquire, Wired, The Boston Globe, and BBC News.
