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.

Gina Kuperberg gave a symposium talk at the 46th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The title of Gina’s talk was, “'Black-box tools' and 'Brain-inspired modeling' provide complementary insights into the representations and neural dynamics underlying typical and atypical language processes," see abstract.
Gina Kuperberg, Victoria Sharpe, Sabrina Ford, Samer Nour Eddine, Lin Wang, and Lena Palaniyappan presented a poster, “GPT Reveals Selective Impairments in Global vs. Local Context Use in Speech among Treatment-Naïve Patients with Positive Thought Disorder”, at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, held in Tampa, FL.
