FACTOR is pleased to announce a talk from PhonLab by Dr Valeriia Perepelytsia (UZH):

TITLE

Forensic voice comparison

TALK

Dr Perepelytsia is a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Steven Moran in his SNSF Eccellenza project “Evolution of phonetics and phonology” (EVOPHON). She holds a PhD in Computational Linguistics and Phonetics from the University of Zurich that focused on voice production and perception in different listener populations (younger adults, older adults, with and without hearing loss). Her research interests include cognitive neuroscience of language as well as acoustic and forensic phonetics, and she uses behavioural and neuroimaging methods to study how voice identity information – including audio quality, listener and speaker age, as well as familiarity with the voice – interact with linguistic information on the behavioral and neural levels and affect aspects such as voice recognition.
