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.

Congratulations to Nicole Nadwodny who defended her Senior Honors Thesis, "When it comes to the P600, are we all on the same wavelength?: An event-related potential and behavioral investigation of individual difference." Nicole's committee members were: Gina Kuperberg and Trevor Brothers. Here are some pictures from Nicole's defense!
Congratulations to Nicole Nadwodny, Grace Konstantin, and all of the other Cognitive and Brain Science seniors on their great posters presenting their senior projects to the department. The title of Nicole's project was "When it comes to the P600, are we all on the same wavelength?: An event-related potential and behavioral investigation of individual difference." The title of Grace's project was "Lexical alignment in psychosis: A social cognition study." Here are pictures of Nicole and Grace with their posters!
Congratulations to Lena Warnke, Samer Nour Eddine, and the other first year Tufts graduate students on their great presentations of their first year projects to the department. The title of Lena's talk was "Prediction across turn boundaries in conversation." The title of Sam's talk was "Comprehending noise in context: An ERP study." Here are pictures of them celebrating!
