About
Brigitte Bigi is a leading researcher in speech science and multimodal communication, with a focus on the automatic processing of spoken language and gesture. Her work bridges linguistics, computer science, and cognitive neuroscience, particularly through the development of tools and corpora that enable fine-grained analysis of verbal and non-verbal behavior in interaction. A major contribution is her role in creating and promoting the SPPAS software, a widely used tool for automatic annotation of speech and gestures, which has become a standard resource in the field. Her most cited work, "Multimodal Corpus of Bidirectional Conversation of Human-human and Human-robot Interaction during fMRI Scanning" (2020), exemplifies her innovative approach to studying real-time communication in complex, ecologically valid settings—including human-robot interaction—while simultaneously recording brain activity. Though this paper has garnered 7 citations, its impact lies in its methodological novelty and interdisciplinary reach. Bigi’s research has significantly advanced the empirical study of multimodal communication, providing essential resources for researchers in linguistics, human-robot interaction, and cognitive science.
