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.

Please check out our video tutorials on using the YAEL toolbox (Your Advanced Electrode Localizer), illustrated by Ivi Fung, an undergrad in our lab. These tutorials walk you through the electrode functionality of the toolbox and the various techniques that can be used to localize particularly difficult and/or hard-to-see electrode shafts. See our research page on iEEG localization
Congratulations to Samer Nour Eddine who defended his PhD thesis, "Dynamic duo: Insights from a dual-unit predictive coding model of lexico-semantic processing". Sam's committee members were: Gina Kuperberg (advisor), Trevor Brothers, Ariel Goldberg, and Aniruddh Patel. Sam will be continuing as a postdoctoral scholar in our lab.
Congratulations to Apoorva Vallampati and the first year Tufts Psychology graduate student cohort for their First Year Conference presentations! Apoorva’s talk was titled “Setting your own expectations: How linguistic predictions can shed light on mental state”.
