معرفی
Douglas M. Shiller is a Full Professor at the University of Montreal specializing in speech production, perception, and motor control mechanisms. His research bridges experimental psychology and clinical speech-language pathology, with a focus on neural and cognitive processes underlying speech.
He holds a PhD in Experimental Psychology and a Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology, both from McGill University. His educational background provides a strong foundation for investigating both theoretical and clinical aspects of speech.
Shiller's primary research interests include speech production and perception dynamics, phonetic development across the lifespan, and sensorimotor learning in speech. He examines how auditory and somatosensory feedback contribute to speech adaptation, the impact of neurological conditions on speech, and cross-language transfer mechanisms in bilingual speakers.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2018-2023) reveals dominant trends in sensorimotor integration during speech, with significant emphasis on perturbation-based adaptation studies, stuttering mechanisms, Parkinson's disease effects, and bilingual speech processing. His work frequently employs real-time biofeedback techniques and examines individual differences in speech motor learning across populations.
Shiller maintains active affiliations with multiple research centers including the Research Centre of CHU Sainte-Justine, the Research Centre on Brain, Language and Music (CRBLM), the International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research (BRAMS), and the Engineering of Interactive Technologies in Rehabilitation (INTER). These collaborations enable interdisciplinary approaches to speech science and clinical applications.
