The laboratory projects explore different aspects of normal and disordered speech production: neuro-biomechanical simulation of the vocal tract, mechanisms of control of prosody by linguistic analysis for applications to speech synthesis, and mechanisms of speech motor control and timing coordination among articulators, studied both on articulatory and acoustic data. Also, articulatory and acoustic characteristics of different types of disordered speech are evaluated within a study relating genetic factors to children speech and sound disorders.
