Bio: Dr. Alviar is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Music Cognition Lab at Vanderbilt University Medical Center working to understand how humans become so good at communicating with each other. She is particularly interested in the role of non-verbal signals in communication and has designed experiments and mined naturalistic datasets to uncover the dynamic multimodal patterns that make us humans good at figuring out each other's intentions across a variety of contexts. Currently, she is studying how children with and without disabilities take advantage of the non-verbal communicative signals in child-directed communication to scaffold language learning and social development.
