The Psychomic Society’s Digital Team is welcoming another Digital Associate Editor: Brett Myers has joined our team. Because there have been quite a few recent changes to the team, here is the lineup of current Digital Associate Editors:

The newest member, Brett Myers, is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Utah. He received his doctorate from Vanderbilt University where he studied with Duane Watson—a member of the Society’s Governing Board—and Reyna Gordon. Brett’s research investigates planning processes during speech production, including parameters related to prosody, and their role in neural models of motor speech control. One of his recent papers is entitled Pushing the Envelope: Developments in Neural Entrainment to Speech and the Biological Underpinnings of Prosody Perception.

Outside of academia, Brett’s interest in motor planning for speech production led him to become a speech-language pathologist. For the last six years, he worked at the Vanderbilt Voice Center in Nashville.

After his recent move to the beautiful mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah, he is continuing to treat voice disorders at the University of Utah, in addition to continuing his research in speech planning processes.

When I asked Brett about his off-piste interests, he replied:

“Outside of the lab and clinical work, I’m an active performer, director, and dialect coach for stage productions. You can catch me in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in Salt Lake City this holiday season.”

Tickets for the production can be obtained here.
