Welcome!

My name is Chiung-Yu Chang, written as 張瓊予 in Mandarin Chinese. I also go by Lisa.

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My research interests lie primarily in the speech sounds and cognitive neuroscience of human languages.

My dissertation concerns speech perception outside typical laboratory settings, such as in background noise, under limited attention, and when listening to continuous speech.

Update:

An online early version of our review paper about EEG & naturalistic speech is now available at the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience!
I will present a poster at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting both virtually and in person (on November 16, 2026, between 1-5 PM.) This poster will summarize our latest results of estimating cue weighting from EEG responses to naturalistic speech.
