Expertises:
Psycholinguistics, Speech perception, Experimental Methodology, Statistics

Asano’s research has focused primarily on how our experience with languages and music shapes our perception and production of spoken language. Specifically;
- how we learn the sounds and sound structures of our languages,
- how we store and access them when needed for language use,
- how the working memory is dependent from languages acquired and,
- how it influences our speech and music perception.

Methodologically, Asano mainly uses psycholinguistic behavioral experimental methods including eye-tracking and EEG.
