Two submissions from our group have been accepted as oral presentations at Interspeech 2025 (Rotterdam, 17-21 August). Both talks will present how the timing of simple gestures influences speech perception.
With 25 teams from around the globe, we tested if a simple acoustic rhythm guides your auditory perception. Check out what we found in “How strong is the rhythm of perception? A registered replication of Hickok et al. (2015)”
Did you know watching a few beat gestures can change which words you hear minutes later? Read all about it in: “Beating stress: Evidence for recalibration of word stress perception”
The same gesture can be perceived differently, depending on the speech you hear!
Curious about how beat gestures can affect the words people hear in Spanish? Read it in: “From ‘I dance’ to ‘she danced’ with a flick of the hands: Audiovisual stress perception in Spanish”
After a successful defense on February 14, 2025, Giulio was awarded the title of doctor with distinction, cum laude. Congratulations to Dr. Severijnen!
