The project aims at examining the role of visual information (lip reading) in speech perception under normal and noisy conditions.
Adults, children at different ages, as well as cases of atypical language development will be considered, such as deaf children
with cochlear implants, or dysphasic children. A combination of behavioral and neuroimaging techniques is used. A second project
aims deals with the integration of signals ensuing from lips and hands in cued speech perception. Electrophysiological methods and
eye tracking are used to investigate these issues.
