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.

Lin Wang, Samer Nour Eddine, Trevor Brothers, Ole Jensen, and Gina Kuperberghave had their paper, "An implemented predictive coding model of lexico-semantic processing explains the dynamics of univariate and multivariate activity within the left ventromedial temporal lobe during reading comprehension" accepted for publication in NeuroImage.

Thank you to Dr. Michael Halassa for inviting Gina to give a talk at the 13th Annual Tufts Neuroscience Symposium at the Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA. Gina's talk was titled: "Predictive coding offers a biologically plausible computational framework for implementing language comprehension in the brain."
Thank you to Drs. Eva Wittenberg and Giosue Baggio for hosting Gina's visit to Central European University in Vienna, Austria, where she gave a talk as part of FoundationsFest, workshop in celebration of Ray Jackendoff's foundational Foundations of Language book. Gina's talk was titled: "A Call to the Lexicon: Predictive Coding Offers a Biologically Plausible Computational Framework for Implementing Language Comprehension in the Brain."
