Monica Wagner, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
“Signature Brain Waves to Speech”
Brain waves recorded to spoken words have a “signature” that is
associated with each word. Dr. Wagner has identified signature
waveforms in native-Polish and native-English adults in response to
certain words. Dr. Wagner will explain how these signature
waveforms were obtained and will discuss how such waveforms may
answer questions concerning brain processing of speech sounds in
children with language impairment as well as in typically
developing children during infant word recognition.
Monica Wagner, PhD., CCC-SLP, is an
Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and
Disorders (CSD). She received her Ph.D. in Speech, Language and
Hearing Science from The Graduate Center, City University of New
York. Her research interests pertain to neural processing of speech
sounds and infant speech perception. Dr. Wagner uses event-related
potential (ERP) methodology to answer various questions related to
brain processing of speech.
The Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) offers
professional training in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology to
assess and treat speech, language, swallowing, or hearing disorders
in both children and adults. This speaker series, held once a
semester, intends to highlight current research and professional
activities in the departmental faculty.
