McNeel Jantzen
Psychology
A native Floridian, Jantzen just finished her postdoctoral work at the Center for Complex Systems & Brain Sciences there. Her research examines how speech perception in a second language depends on an individual's initial perception, how similar non-native sounds are to your native language, "how" individual's learn to distinguish non-native speech sounds, and how all this is reflected in the activity of brain areas that are specialized for speech. She enjoys spending time with her family and is looking forward to ski season.
