Research Interests:
How does the brain perceive speech from sound waves, and convert that speech into meaningful language? How is phonemic, syllabic, and word-level information extracted through the simultaneous processing of auditory input at multiple temporal scales? How do these abilities develop, and what happens when some part of these processes goes awry? Rachel is interested in exploring the answers to these questions and in understanding the relationship between visual and auditory processing of speech and language. She hopes to learn more about these topics using both behavioral and neuroimaging techniques, particularly eye-tracking, EEG, and MEG.
