RESEARCH INTERESTS

My current research focuses on the application of modern neuroimaging techniques to address issues related to verbal fluency and, more generally, speech motor control and motor cognition. I have been using fMRI, EEG and rTMS to examine the contribution of the frontal lobe to the planning and production of spoken language.
I am also interested in the domain-generality of the brain networks underlying spoken language production and non-speech voluntary orofacial movements, and the role of sensory feedback in the control of spoken language production.
