About Us
Welcome along! The Speech and Music Perception Laboratory is based in the Faculty of Education, the University of Hong Kong.
Our lab integrates a research line in speech and music perception, presenting a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary exploration and collaboration. Specifically, we combine diverse areas of expertise, including speech science, music education, and neuroscience. By leveraging the collective knowledge of these disciplines, we seek to advance the theoretical understanding of the shared mechanisms underlying speech and music perception.
Our lab is a collaborative research platform, bringing together speech and music researchers from Hong Kong and overseas. This platform will facilitate knowledge exchange, foster interdisciplinary collaborations, and promote a vibrant research community focused on speech and music perception.
Additionally, we aim to attract prospective local and international research postgraduate students, while providing research internship opportunities for taught postgraduate and undergraduate students to nurture their research interests.
Lastly, our lab is committed to translating research findings into practical resources for speech therapists, music teachers, and language teachers. By bridging the gap between research and practice, we aim to develop valuable tools and interventions that will enhance their professional work.
