He is also a Research Affiliate at the Research Laboratory of Electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences. Tourville also has an extensive background in human neuroanatomy and MRI-based brain morphometry that he uses to develop expert-guided semi-automated brain region labeling methods. His research combines mathematical modeling with functional and structural brain imaging to study the neural mechanisms underlying normal and disordered speech, including persistent developmental stuttering, apraxia of speech, spasmodic dysphonia, and autism. He is a cognitive and computational neuroscientist primarily focused on mapping the brain regions involved in speech motor control. in Cognitive and Neural Systems at Boston University. Jason Tourville, Ph.D.is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences and Center for Computational Neuroscience and Neural Technology at Boston University. His research has been covered extensively in the science and popular media, including television spots on CNN News, PBS News Hour, and Fox News articles in popular science magazines Discover, Scientific American, and Popular Science and popular press coverage in Esquire, Wired, The Boston Globe, and BBC News. Guenther also develops brain-computer interfaces to restore synthetic speech and other communication skills to paralyzed individuals. His research program combines theoretical modeling with behavioral and neuroimaging experiments to characterize the neural computations underlying these faculties in humans. Guenther is a computational and cognitive neuroscientist specializing in speech and sensorimotor control. He is also a Research Affiliate at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT, a Faculty Member in the Harvard/MIT Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology Program, and a Visiting Scientist in the Department of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. is a Professor in the Departments of Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences and Biomedical Engineering at Boston University.
