Job Description
Thesis Subject
From the periphery, up to the central nervous system, the human auditory pathway analysis the complex acoustic properties of speech sounds. Although these auditory structures are not mature till the end of adolescence, infants efficiently tuned to the sounds of their native language(s) during the first year of life and start to build their lexicon. This project aims to unveil the general auditory mechanisms involved in the early development of speech perception by using both behavioural and neurophysiological tools with infants. Moreover, by combining those tools with a multi-level approach, we will examine precisely the properties of the speech input that influence the specialization of these auditory mechanisms, i.e., domain- general mechanisms. First, a cross-linguistic comparison will examine the influence of exposure to different phonological systems, French versus Mandarin. Then, we will assess the effects of impaired hearing, auditory experience and quality of speech input on perceptual attunement of speech.
Your Work Environment
The INCC lab is located in Paris, near St Germain des Près (45 rue des saints-pères. 75006). The PhD student will join the Language & Cognition Team and work under the supervision of Dr Laurianne Cabrera. A research plateform called the BabyLab is located in the same building as the INCC lab and is dedicated to welcome families and their children to participate in experimental studies in cognitive sciences. The Babylab has the facilities and equipment required for the project.
This ANR-NSTC funded project is in collaboration with the Robert Debré Hospital in Paris (Pr Thierry van den Abbeele) and with the National Taiwan University (Pr Feng-Ming Tsao) in order to capitalize expertise on psychoacoustics, psychoinguistics and audiology. This project is highly collaborative and the PhD student will participate to regular meetings with this research consortium.
