Dr. Loucks professional interests include:
- Neural control of speech and voice production in the normally developing system
- Sensorimotor integration for speech production in children and adults
- Speech motor learning in normally fluent individuals and persons who stutter
- Neurological voice disorders
He is collaborating with researchers in the Stuttering Research Project to identify a biomarker
for persistent stuttering in children using a battery of structural and functional MRI approaches including:
- Functional MRI (fMRI) studies of speech and voice production in normalcy and communication disorders
- Speech movement studies focusing on sensorimotor integration and motor learning
