My main research interests concentrate on the investigation of the neuroanatomical (fMRI, TMS) and temporal (EEG) underpinnings of the perception of paralinguistic aspects of voice such as affect as well as other socially important attributes with the aim to advance cognitive models in the field of voice perception.

Dr Patricia Bestelmeyer is a member of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and the Bangor Imaging Unit (http://biu.bangor.ac.uk/index.php.en).

Dr Bestelmeyer welcomes informal enquiries from prospective PhD students interested in projects related to the cognitive and affective neuroscience of voice and face perception, music perception, and auditory object perception more generally. After reviewing relevant information on her staff web page please get in touch via email.
