Main Focus

I am a neuroscientist who is experienced with EEG, fMRI, and TMS. I am interested in neural bases of auditory information (voice, speech, music) process in the human brain. My research is now looking at kinship recognition in human voice and its relationship with cultural backgrounds.
 
Now I am looking for participants for my project. Please see the flyer: https://ayakatsuchiya.github.io/stimmforschung2021/
