An investigation into hemispheric lateralisation of different acoustic rates and its relationship with language ability during infancy
… on the capacity to process segmental and suprasegmental phonology. Infants have a lateralised right hemisphere response to suprasegmental changes in speech from birth and a bilateral response to segmental changes. A shift occurs by ~12 months old whereby infants become left hemisphere …

Taking attention away from the auditory modality : investigations of the effect on speech processing using machine learning
… pitch contours (Mandarin tones), a suprasegmental feature that is critical to the percept of lexical tones. Further, we provide novel evidence that the impact of the visual load is highly dependent on the predictability of the incoming speech stream. In study 2, we utilized …

Modeling temporal coordination in speech production using an artificial central pattern generator neural network
… gestural dynamics, and more recently, some suprasegmental timing patterns. This dissertation explores how different levels of phonological organization (the gesture, syllable, stress group, and phrase) are coordinated in speech production by measuring the effects of that coordination on …
