Sensorimotor processing in non-native speech perception and learning

我的研究旨在确定通过运动皮质(M1)的内隐模仿过程在非母语言语知觉和知觉学习中的作用。由于新冠肺炎的限制，我目前正在使用在线实验中的行为语音刺激-反应兼容性(SRC)任务来估计母语与非母语语音的自动模仿。到2022年，我希望利用经颅磁刺激(TMS)方案来评估M1在非母语语音感知和语音学习中的功能作用。

My research aims to identify the role of covert imitation processes via the motor cortex (M1) in non-native speech perception and perceptual learning. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, I am currently using behavioural speech stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) tasks in online experiments to estimate automatic imitation of native vs. non-native speech. As of 2022, I am hoping to utilise transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocols to evaluate the functional role of M1 in non-native speech perception and phonetic learning.
