研究概述
Tsunada實驗室的長期目標是探尋有聲交流（與其障礙）內在的行為機制和神經機制。有聲交流對人類和很多動物都起著很重要的作用，包括群體凝聚以及社會聯結。而人類在有聲交流中表現出一個很關鍵的特點是-會根據交際的語境，歷史的因素，會話的內容，以及參與到其中的演說者和聽眾，從而靈活地改變和控制言語。雖然對有聲交流內在的行為機制和神經機制的研究已經有很長的歷史，但是是什麼樣的行為機制和神經機制使得我們可以根據交流語境控制聲音的互動方式依舊知之甚少。狨猴是一種具備高效有聲交流能力的靈長類物種，我們將會用它來研究有聲交流內在的行為和神經機制。更好的理解正常有聲交流的機制可以幫助我們更好地理解為什麼有心理失常（比如：精神分裂）或是發展失常（比如：自閉症譜系障礙）的病人無法正常地進行有聲交流，然後從中發現新的治療途徑，從而提高他們的交流能力。
