Stéphanie Riès

Stéphanie Riès is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at San Diego State University, USA. She is affiliated with the College of Professional Studies and conducts interdisciplinary research at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and language sciences. She was invited as a guest lecturer by Paragraphe at CY Advanced Studies to present her work on the neural mechanisms underlying language production.

Her research focuses on the cognitive control processes involved in word selection during speech. Using electrophysiological techniques such as scalp and intracranial EEG, neuropsychological data, and computational modeling, she investigates how the brain resolves interference during language production. Key brain regions of interest include the posterior inferior left temporal cortex and the medial and left prefrontal cortices, which are implicated in semantic retrieval and top-down control.

The analysis of her research themes indicates a strong emphasis on the spatio-temporal dynamics of language-related brain activity, with implications for understanding both acquired (e.g., stroke-induced aphasia) and developmental (e.g., dyslexia) language disorders. Her work aims to uncover potential compensatory mechanisms and improve clinical interventions.
