Prof Kate Watkins

The Brain, Speech, & Language Group

We are interested in the neural basis of speech and language.  We use brain imaging and brain stimulation to study speech perception and production and to explore differences in the structure and function of the brain associated with differences in the way speech and language develops for example in stammering and in developmental language disorder.

Interested in working with us?

We currently have no vacancies in the lab.
