معرفی
Maëva Garnier is a CNRS Researcher affiliated with the Speech and Cognition Department at GIPSA-lab (Grenoble, France). She co-heads the PCMD team (Speech Perception, Control, Multimodality, and Dynamics) and coordinates ANR projects like StopNCo (2015–2019) and PEDAVOX, focusing on vocal effort and speech production. Her research integrates cognitive science, acoustics, and neurophysiology to explore speech adaptations, voice disorders, and stuttering. She also collaborates with statistical experts to improve methodological rigor in experimental data analysis.
Key research interests include vocal effort optimization, resonance tuning in singing, and sensorimotor coordination in speech. Her work bridges applied and fundamental research, addressing clinical applications for teachers' voice preservation and stuttering therapy. She co-edits the journal Speech Communication and has supervised numerous PhD and master’s students. Current projects include neuroimaging studies on decision-making in people who stutter and the development of machine learning tools for synthesizer sound control.
Her educational contributions span teaching signal processing, phonetics, and cognitive methods at various institutions, including Université Grenoble Alpes, UNSW, and University of Sydney. Research highlights include discovering laryngeal adjustments in high soprano singing and identifying neural correlates of phonetic convergence.
