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 was invited to present at the Department of Psychiatry Grand Rounds at Tufts University School of Medicine. Gina’s talk was titled “Global Context Insensitivity in Positive Thought Disorder: Quantifying Speech Disorganization Using a Large Language Model and Uncovering Mechanistic Insights with a Predictive Coding Model.”
Gina was selected to present at the Oral Sessions at the DISCOURSE Consortium Satellite Meeting in Chicago, IL. Her talk was titled, “GPT-3 reveals selective insensitivity to global vs. local linguistic context in speech produced by treatment-naive patients with positive thought disorder.”
Several members of our lab presented posters at the Cognitive Neuroscience Society conference in Boston, MA. In addition, Samer Nour Eddine received a Post-Doctoral Fellow Award this year for his work!
