Caroline Niziolek
Principal Investigator
How does what we hear affect what we say? My research combines neuroimaging and acoustic measures in an attempt to characterize speech feedback processing and what purpose it serves in communication. The overarching hypothesis that frames my work is that communicative intent defines the brain’s motor plans for speech goals.
Carissa Ernat
Graduate Research Assistant
I am a second year Master’s Student studying Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am interested in acquired neurogenics, such as aphasia, and learning the most effective and functional ways to provide therapy for that population. This lab helps connect my clinical knowledge with extremely interesting research about the role of the brain in motor planning and speech production.
