Research Interests

I am interested in sensorimotor control of the larynx for voice and swallowing. Currently, I am investigating audio-vocal integration using acoustic, behavioral, and functional magnetic resonance imaging methods. My research and teaching interests are described in detail on my Voice Physiology Laboratory web page www.indiana.edu/~voicelab/.
