Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Andrew L. Bowers studies sensorimotor integration in speech processing, focusing on the role of the electroencephalography (EEG) mu rhythm. His research investigates how the brain processes auditory information during speech production and perception, examining the temporal dynamics of neural activity. Bowers has explored the application of EEG mu rhythm measures to neurophysiological research in stuttering, investigating autonomic arousal in adults who stutter prior to reading tasks designed to elicit changes in stuttering frequency. His work also includes the analysis of auditory cortical deactivation during speech production and following speech perception, as well as the use of mu suppression as an index of sensorimotor contributions to speech processing. Bowers' scholarship includes 27 publications with 630 citations and an h-index of 15.
