Pascale Tremblay’s research studies the cognitive neuroscience of human communication using an interdisciplinary approach. She is interested in understanding the  mechanisms that support the ability to communicate verbally, that is, to perceive and produce speech and voice (an important carrier of human emotions), which are important building blocks of social interactions. Her work also aims to identify the factors that affect communication in aging, including cognitive aging and sensorimotor aging, and their impact on social interactions and functionning.To achieve these goals, her lab studies the anatomy and functioning of the brain using neuroimaging, behavioral and physiological experimental methods.
