Neural underpinnings of naturalistic speech rhythms underlying disorganised thought processing and the impact of vocal emotions on emotional states in clinical high-risk using OPM-MEG

Person Specification. Applicants should have a strong background in neuroscience, mental health research, psychology, medicine, physics, computer science, experimental linguistics or a related discipline relevant to cognitive neuroscience/neuroimaging, and ideally a background in cognitive neuroimaging. Read more

Neural and behavioural correlates of speech production in Parkinson's disease

Speech is a complex task requiring highly coordinated movements of a large group of respiratory, laryngeal and articulatory muscles and involves precise integration with auditory and somatosensory feedback to plan and execute speech movements. Read more

AI for Social communication: Speech and Language Deficits in Neurological Disorders

Communication is fundamental in human interactions, and its breakdown can significantly impact individuals. Speech and language problems are common in many brain conditions like stroke, brain injury, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. Read more

Optimising Neurocognitive Strategies for Efficient Communication in Young and Older Adults using Large Language Models and OPM-MEG

This proposal aims to investigate and elucidate the neural mechanisms through which young and older adults employ different strategies to enhance their daily communication skills and maintain their competence in this area. Read more

Neural processes underlying rhythmic motor timing in speech and song

The Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, investigates neural mechanisms of skilled performance, perception, cognition, and emotional processing using music and other performing arts as models. Read more

Lip reading as an aid to speech perception: Who benefits most?

Project ID. S31. For the one in six people who struggle to hear and communicate, being able to see a talker’s face provides additional information which boosts their ability to understand speech, particularly in noisy environments where hearing aids are often not of much help. Read more

Listen hard: monitoring effort in listening through physiological signals

Supervisory Team.   Profs. David Simpson, Stefan Bleeck. Project description. Hearing speech is usually easy, but understanding speech in noise or in poor acoustic environments can be very challenging. Read more

Audio/acoustics Machine Learning

One fully-funded PhD studentship including fees and stipend is available for an outstanding candidate to join the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP), part of the University of Surrey’s Institute for People-centred Artificial Intelligence (PAI), in partnership with Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS. Read more

Framework and Standards for Forensic Practitioners for Authentication of Potential Synthetic Media

Synthetic spoofing speech, commonly known as deepfake, has become a threat to online communication and automatic speaker verification systems, given that deep learning methods used for synthetic voice modelling can reproduce anyone’s voice as long as there is a sample authentic voice to work from.
