About
Yongqiang Feng is a researcher specializing in speech motor control and sensorimotor integration, with a particular focus on how the brain coordinates auditory and somatosensory feedback to regulate speech production. His work has made meaningful contributions to our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying spoken language, examining how the nervous system integrates multiple sensory streams to achieve precise articulatory control. Feng's most influential contribution, "Integration of auditory and somatosensory error signals in the neural control of speech movements" (2011), has garnered 89 citations and stands as a significant reference point in the field. Through carefully designed sensorimotor adaptation experiments — perturbing auditory feedback via first formant (F1) frequency shifts and introducing articulatory perturbations — Feng and colleagues systematically dissected the distinct and combined roles of these two sensory modalities in speech control. His earlier 2008 work laid important groundwork for this line of inquiry by establishing experimental paradigms to isolate auditory and somatosensory contributions independently. Together, these studies have helped shape contemporary models of speech motor control, informing both basic science and potential clinical applications for individuals with speech and communication disorders. Feng's research remains a valuable resource for students and scholars exploring the sensorimotor foundations of human communication.
