Marta Bacon is a rising junior at Carleton College. She is pursuing a major in psychology. She is interested in neuropsychology and hopes to become a neuropsychologist in the future. She hopes to work with patients and conduct research work in mental health disorders as well as Alzheimer’s Disease. She is most excited to get a chance to research work involving speech fluency this summer as well as being in Minneapolis for this training experience.
Research work at the Speech Fluency lab has recently extended to involve the study of neural processes supporting fluency speech production. Marta will be working on various projects that study the temporal dynamics of language planning and speech production.
