Research interests

I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Sequence Production Lab. In my postdoctoral project, conducted under the direction of Dr. Caroline Palmer in collaboration with Dr. Isabelle Peretz, I plan to investigate perceptual and motor processes in singers' synchronization. Using behavioral methods and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), I will explore the beneficial effects of choral speech and song on word production in healthy and aphasic participants.
