We are an interdisciplinary lab based at Tufts University and the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. Our research integrates the fields of Cognitive Neuroscience, Psycholinguistics, and Cognitive science.
We are investigating the neural mechanisms mediating language comprehension and production in healthy adults. We are also interested in how these mechanisms break down in individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. We use multimodal neuroimaging techniques – fMRI, MEG/EEG, and ERPs – to better understand the spatiotemporal dynamics of these processes in the brain.

Victoria Sharpe, Michael MacKinley, Samer Nour Eddine, Lin Wang, Lena Palaniyappan, and Gina Kuperberg have had their paper, "Selective insensitivity to global vs. local linguistic context in speech produced by patients with untreated psychosis and positive thought disorder" accepted for publication in Biological Psychiatry.

Goodbye and good luck to Samer Nour Eddine, who will be starting a postdoctoral position with Philip Resnik at University of Maryland, College Park.
Thank you to all of our wonderful undergraduate students who worked in our lab over the past academic year: Sasha Bukary, Carly Cohen, Ivi Fung, Aileen Guo, and Abigail Klein.
Congratulations to our graduating Seniors, Ivi Fung, Aileen Guo, and Sasha Bukary. All three students spent over a year in our lab working on a variety of research projects. Ivi will be joining a research lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Sasha will be applying to medical school, and Aileen will be joining our lab as a full-time research assistant at the Dept. of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital. We are so grateful for all of their efforts with the lab’s research and we wish them the best of luck!
