THE SPEECH CHAIN AND THE SPEECH MOTOR CONTROL GROUP

The Speech Chain

Our research is multidisciplinary and in one way or another, it is concerned with every link in the “speech chain” as illustrated above (from The Speech Chain, by P.B. Denes and E.N. Pinson, 1993, W.H. Freeman: New York, p.5). This kind of comprehensive research program would not be possible without the valuable contributions, diverse backgrounds and multiple areas of expertise of the members of our research group.
