Concepts and control in speech production

虽然人类在日常对话中流利地说出话来，但对潜在的心理过程和大脑机制的了解相对较少。该项目的总体目标是通过使用最先进的神经成像和脑刺激技术来研究人类大脑如何构思和控制语音输出。该研究旨在为与失语症等言语障碍特别相关的关键人类能力提供新的见解，而在言语产生成像期间开发的脑刺激方法旨在扩大澳大利亚在语言认知神经科学方面的能力和技术创新。

While humans produce speech fluently in the course of everyday conversation, comparatively little is understood about the underlying mental processes and brain mechanisms. The overall aim of this project is to investigate how the human brain conceives and controls speech output by using state-of-the-art neuroimaging and brain stimulation techniques. The research aims to contribute novel insights into a key human ability with particular relevance for speech disorders such as aphasia, while the methods developed for brain stimulation during imaging of speech production aim to expand Australia's capability and technical innovation in the cognitive neuroscience of language.
