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!
