Our people

Core Team

Dr Lauren Hadley

Dr Lauren V Hadley

Principal Investigator

Lauren’s main interest is in how people successfully interact, using behavioural and neuroscientific techniques to address the mechanisms involved in interpersonal coordination and prediction.

Dr Leigh Fernandez

Dr Leigh Fernandez

Postdoctoral Researcher on secondment

Leigh is interested in how different speaker groups make real-time predictions about upcoming linguistic information during both reading and spoken language processing.

 

 

curetti_zaira

Zaira Curetti

Research Associate

Zaira is interested in identifying strategies to improve audio accessibility and interpersonal communication for neurodivergent individuals and those with hearing impairments, employing a combination of behavioural and neurophysiological methods.

Whitley

Alexina Whitley

Research Assistant

Alexina is a research assistant looking at how people make use of predictions when listening in conversation. She is interested in what insights hearing loss can provide us about the underlying mechanisms in processing speech.

shehzad_muzna

Muzna Shehzad

Research Assistant

Muzna's interest is in investigating prediction time course during conversation by using neuroscientific techniques. Her focus is to explore the impact of hearing impairment on prediction and how it can be better supported.

Eszter Porter

Eszter Porter

PhD Student

Eszter is interested in the role of prediction in speech perception and her research aims to relate people’s ability to make predictions when listening to their physical behaviour during a conversation.

Collaborators

Prof Peter Keller

Prof Peter Keller

Western Sydney University

Peter’s research aims at understanding the behavioural and brain bases of human interaction in musical contexts, specifically, the sensory-motor and cognitive processes that enable ensemble musicians to coordinate with one another.

 

 

Dr Carine Signoret

Dr Carine Signoret

Linköping University

Carine is a cognitive psychologist using neuro-imagery techniques to understand how the human brain works to allow language communication.

 

 

 

 

Prof Stacey Marsella

Prof Stacy Marsella

Northeastern University

Stacy’s interest is in the computational modelling of cognition, emotion and social behaviour, both as a basic research methodology in the study of human behaviour as well as the use of these computational models in a range of education and analysis applications.

 

 

Prof Alessandro Vinciarelli

Prof Alessandro Vinciarelli

University of Glasgow

Alessandro’s main research interest is Social Signal Processing, the computing domain aimed at modelling, analysis and synthesis of nonverbal communication in human-human and human-machine interactions.

 

 

Prof Riika Mottonen

Prof Riikka Möttönen

University of Helsinki

Riikka is interested in how the human brain enables communication between people and how communication is supported by the interaction between motor, sensory and cognitive mechanisms.

 

 

carter_jared

Dr Jared Carter

Postdoctoral Researcher

Jared is interested in the interaction of "low-level" encoding (e.g., sensory encoding, motor planning) with "higher-order" cognition (e.g., prediction, language, etc.) while individuals process speech and language, using behavioral and neurophysiologic techniques.
