Overview
My main research interests concentrate on the investigation of the neuroanatomical (fMRI, TMS) and temporal (EEG) underpinnings of the perception of paralinguistic aspects of voice such as affect as well as other socially important attributes with the aim to advance cognitive models in the field of voice perception.
Dr Patricia Bestelmeyer is a member of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and the Bangor Imaging Unit ().
Teaching and Supervision
I teach a Year 3 module on "The Neuroscience of Hearing" and supervise under- and postgraduate research students related to projects on sound perception. I have specific interests in the perception of speaker identity, auditory emotion (voice, speech prosody or music) and regional accents.
Postgraduate Project Opportunities
Dr Bestelmeyer welcomes informal enquiries from prospective PhD students interested in projects related to the cognitive and affective neuroscience of voice and face perception, music perception, and auditory object perception more generally.
