ViCom Data Network Coordinator, Steering Committee Member, PI
Susanne Fuchs (ZAS Berlin) investigates the biopsychosocial foundations of human interaction and focuses specifically on physiological processes, such as breathing and motor control. Her main areas of interests are:
1) The interplay between motion, breathing and cognition,
2) Speech preparation and pauses,
3) Multimodality and iconicity,
4) Biological and social aspects shaping individual behaviour in speech production and perception.
She uses manifold techniques, among them optitrack, inductance plethysmography, electropalatography and intraoral pressure sensors.
