Anni Nora is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Aalto University Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering, where she investigates neurocognitive mechanisms underlying speech and language processing. She earned her Master's degree in Social SciencesUniversity of Helsinki in 2011 and leads the RCF Academy Project (2020-2025) focused on developmental language disorders and dyslexia. Her research integrates magnetoencephalography (MEG) and machine learning to study cortical dynamics in word learning, phonological processing, and memory systems.
- Active project: Developmental Language Disorder (Principal Investigator, 2020-2025)
- Key collaborations: University of Jyväskylä, University of Helsinki
Her work explores speech processing and phoneme recognition deficits in children with developmental disorders. She has published extensively on cortical tracking mechanisms, temporal lobe function, and auditory cortex abnormalities. Her 2024 article in the Journal of Neuroscience demonstrated impaired speech cortical tracking in developmental language disorder, while her 2021 NeuroImage study linked dyslexia risk to left-hemispheric memory deficiencies. Earlier research (2017-2020) examined right-lateralized word learning, dynamic time-locking, and phonological short-term memory.
She has presented findings at conferences since 2014, including 2023-2022 talks on speech processing deficits and 2017-2019 presentations on phonological learning. Media outlets like Aalto University Press (2021) and international news platforms have highlighted her work on nonsense word learning and dyslexia risk.
