Stephanie Riès

Stephanie Riès is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at San Diego State University, where she directs the Laboratory for the Brain Dynamics of Language. Her research specializes in the cognitive neuroscience of human language, examining brain dynamics in language production, control processes, and neural reorganization following brain disorders.

Education:

• BS in Biology from University of Rennes 1
• MS in Cognitive Neuroscience from Aix-Marseille University
• MS in Cellular Biology and Animal Physiology from University of Rennes 1
• PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Aix-Marseille University

Her work integrates electrophysiology (EEG, EMG) and neuroimaging to study language production mechanisms and compensatory plasticity in conditions like stroke, epilepsy, and brain tumors. Key research areas include bilingual interference resolution, speech monitoring mechanisms, and neural reorganization patterns.

Recent publications focus on neural hierarchies in speech production, neuroplasticity in language recovery, and advanced brain mapping techniques. Article analyses reveal strong emphasis on electrophysiological methods (sEEG, ERP), bilingual cognition, and clinical translation of neuroscience findings.

Dr. Riès leads significant research initiatives through her laboratory, investigating brain-behavior relationships using intracranial recordings and developing novel approaches for speech activity detection across neurological populations.
