Research activities
Our lab studies the neural bases of language and vocal communication using (mostly human) experimental neurophysiology (PET, fMRI, EEG, MEG, SEEG, ECoG, single spike recordings), computational neuroscience (artificial neural networks, neural signal decoding, dynamical systems modeling), and neurointervention (transcranial electrical stimulation, neurofeedback). Our goal is to uncover the key information processing mechanisms of speech and language, and use this knowledge to propose targeted treatments in language disorders such as dyslexia, autism, and aphasia.
