Organisers: Professor John Houde, Dept of OHNS & Professor Srikantan Nagarajan, Dept of Radiology
How does the neural circuitry of the brain create speech, and what are the constraints on this process? In the past several years, there has been exciting progress on many aspects of this topic, and at this symposium we will hear from many of the leaders in the field who are advancing it. In a full-day symposium, a series of fourteen speakers will present the latest findings on the neural control of speech output, how sensory feedback interacts with it, and how learning plays a role in the process.
Free registration is avaliable here. Please note: you can attend this event without registration, this is simply to give us an idea of numbers. Thank you!
Directions to Byers Auditorium are here.
