Dr. Wiltshire leads the Integrative Speech Research Group.聽
The takes an interdisciplinary approach to studying the speech production system. We are interested in how the brain and vocal tract work to produce speech.聽
We use a range of methods, often combining them in novel ways, to address the entire speech system. The lab has expertise in:
Brain Imaging: fMRI, Multi-Parameter-Mapping, Diffusion Weighted Imaging, MRI-compatible fNear Infra-Red Spectroscopy. We have access to a research-dedicated 3T MRI in the basement!
Brain Stimulation: Transcranial Electrical Stimulation, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Motor Evoked Potentials and repetitive protocols, MRI-guided technology)
Articulography: Vocal Tract (or Real Time) MRI, Electromagnetic Articulography
We work with typical speakers and those with diverse speech differences, including developmental and acquired stuttering and Parkinson's
