CNRLab undergraduates featured at UROP symposium

Elly Hu (CAS ’16) presents her poster on “Stimulus variability in rapid auditory categorization.” Elly used behavioral methods and noninvasive neurostimulation to investigate the factors that affect listeners’ ability to adapt to phonetic consistency in speech.

Tyrone Hou (CAS ’18) presented his e-poster on “Computerized biofeedback for lexical tone learning.” Tyrone developed a computer program that automatically compares a speaker’s lexical tone productions to canonical Mandarin lexical tones, providing second-language learners with feedback to help improve their Mandarin pronunciation.
