Who are we? 

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.

 

What do we study? 

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. To learn more about our research questions and specific projects, visit our Research page.
