  A business formed on the UTA campus is developing software that will help people master a native-sounding accent in a foreign language. Visiosound’s “visual accent trainer” will allow someone to speak into a cell phone and receive easy-to-understand visual cues to help them perfect their pronunciation. Visiosound is a recipient of a 2016 Impact Award from TECH Fort Worth, a business incubator and valued UTA partner. UTA Curriculum and Instruction Associate Professor Jodi Tommerdahl worked with Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering Samir Iqbal and Mohammad Motasim Bellah, one of Iqbal’s recent Ph.D. graduates, to develop a prototype and co-found Visiosound. A team of graduate and undergraduate students is also working on the project. - See more at: http://www.uta.edu/news/video/2016/03/visiosound.php#sthash.44k8vxOQ.dpuf

Research and Expertise

Primary Research Interests
My main research interest lies in the field of the interface between language and cognition; particularly the acquisition of linguistic and cognitive skills in childhood as well as their loss in cases of brain damage. Other interests include multilingualism, language impairment and the use of evoked response potentials in examining brain function.
