Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarrie Niziolek is an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison with 14 years of experience investigating the neural and behavioral mechanisms of speech production and perception. Her work blends invasive and noninvasive brain imaging (ECoG, MEG, MRI) with behavioral experiments to probe auditory feedback, efference copy, phonetic category structure, and production learning. She directs the Brain, Language, and Acoustic Behavior Laboratory and has a track record of independent research at UCSF and Boston University, reflecting deep expertise in both methodology and theory. Trained at MIT (PhD, Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology), she connects computational and experimental approaches—an intellectual thread dating back to undergraduate work in computational cognitive science. Colleagues value her ability to translate complex neural dynamics into testable models of perception-production interactions, and she often combines fine-grained imaging with principled behavioral paradigms to reveal subtle aspects of speech motor control.
