Biofeedback & Language Acquisition in Bilingual Speakers

CUNY Lehman College

At BLABS, we study how people learn and produce speech. Our research looks at both the sounds speakers produce (acoustics) and how they move their mouths and tongues to make those sounds (articulation).

We are currently investigating speech motor skills in bilingual speakers, and how visual biofeedback treatment using ultrasound imaging can help individuals with speech sounds disorders.

BLABS is led by Dr. Boram Kim and is part of the Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences. We are located in the Speech & Theater Building, where we have a state-of-the-art soundproof booth equipped with motion capture cameras and ultrasound devices to comprehensively study speech in action.
