Dr. Fillmore joined the Baylor faculty in Fall of 2015. Prior to coming to Baylor, he completed a post-doctoral fellowship and served as research faculty at the University of South Carolina (2010-2015) and served as an adjunct faculty member at Vanguard University (2008-2009). Dr. Fillmore is an auditory cognitive neuroscientist by training, with expertise in adult neurogenic communication disorders.
Dr. Fillmore has taught courses in areas such as aphasia, cognitive communication disorders, research methods, neuroimaging analysis, biological psychology and statistics.
Dr. Fillmore's primary areas of specialization are in neurogenic communication disorders and brain-based research methods. His research interests include the neural correlates of speech and language processing (particularly the interactions between bottom-up and top-down processing in speech comprehension), and applications of cognitive training and neuromodulation techniques to improvment of speech and language function.
