About
Lab of auditory speech and music at the Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences focus on auditory cognitive neuroscience of speech and music. Speech and music are two types of auditory signals of great significance to our human beings. Speech is a communication system specializing in the transmission of information, while music is a communication system specializing in the expression of emotion. We employ a combination of psychophysical testing, physiological recording (EEG and MEG), brain imaging (multi-modal MRI) and non-invasive neuromodulation techniques (TMS and tDCS) to study how human brain understands speech and enjoys music.
