Current Lab Members
Roozbeh Behroozmand, PhD
Associate Professor – Principal investigator
Roozbeh Behroozmand is an Associate Professor of Speech, Language, and Hearing and the Director of the Speech Neuroscience Lab in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas.
Dr. Behroozmand has background in biomedical engineering and neuroscience and his research is focused on investigating the neural bases of speech production and motor control in the human brain. His lab utilizes a wide range of techniques including electrophysiology (EEG, ERP, ECoG), functional neuroimaging (fMRI), EEG-based neurofeedback training, and high-definition transcranial brain stimulation (HD-tES) to study sensory-motor mechanisms of speech in neurotypical adults and patients with neurological disorders. The ultimate goal of this research is to advance translational knowledge for the development of novel diagnosis and clinical treatment methods to enhance speech communication and improve quality of life in patients with speech disorders.
Yilun Zhang, MSc
PhD Student
Yilun Zhang is a doctoral student in the Speech Neuroscience Lab in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas. Yilun’s research focuses on understanding the role of cognitive mechanisms in the production and sensory-motor control of speech in neurotypical adults as well as stroke survivors with aphasia. For her research, Yilun uses advanced EEG signal analysis methods to examine the neurophysiological correlates of speech motor function and their impairment in clinical populations with post-stroke aphasia.
