Sensorimotor Speech Processing Symposium, 16th of August 2016, London
Speech communication relies on both sensory and motor systems. Interactions between these systems during speech production and perception are under active investigation. Sensorimotor Speech Processing Symposium is a forum for scientists interested in this topic to discuss and present their research.
If you interested in attending the symposium, please send an email titled REGISTRATION to speech.symposium@gmail.com. There is no registration fee, but places are limited!
