While significant progress has been made in understanding the underlying mechanisms that affect communication in various conditions, and in developing assessment and treatment strategies, progress is slower than it could be because of significant gaps in training of new communication scientists. The current training plan seeks to fill these gaps by;
-
Providing targeted training in the cognitive neuroscience of communication disorders
-
More meaningful connections between trainees and the clinical populations they study
-
By preparing this generation of trainees with the necessary set of professional tools to conduct and disseminate impactful research.
Teresa Girolamo, Ph.D. Her research focuses on the language abilities of racial/ethnic minority young adults on the autism spectrum.
Congratulations to Silvia Clement-Lam and her husband on the birth of their beautiful baby, Idris

ELM: Expression, Communication And Expression Conference
Saturday, August 20th, 2022
12:00 AM - 11:59 PM
Storrs Campus TBA
Expression, Language, and Music (ELM) is to be a biennial conference that brings together researchers from linguistics, music theory, anthropology, neurobiology, cognitive science, philosophy, and more, with the aim of integrating recent findings and insights from diverse perspectives concerning, e.g. the significance of emotional expression for both music and language, the importance of systematic structure in both music and language, and the interrelations between expressive, musical, and communicative capacities and their relevance for understanding the emergence of language (in ontogeny and phylogeny). Future conferences may focus more narrowly on a subset of these topics.
We are tentatively scheduling the inaugural in-person meeting of ELM for August 20-22, 2022.Contact Information: aliyar.ozercan@uconn.edu
