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.

Trevor Brothers and Gina Kuperberg have had their paper "Word predictability effects are linear, not logarithmic: Implications for probabilistic models of sentence comprehension" accepted for publication in the Journal of Memory and Language.
The NeuroCognition of Language Lab is very excited to welcome a new member! Sean Wang Meyer was born on the evening of September 4th. Congratulations to parents Lin Wang and John Meyer!
Goodbye and good luck to Sophie Greene, who joined our lab as a research assistant in May 2018. Sophie ran participants for many EEG studies as well as coordinated the efforts of all our undergrad RAs and mentored several of them. She is planning on continuing in biomedical research before going on to medical school. Thank you to Sophie for all your hard work in the lab and best of luck in the future!
