Research Projects
Our research interests lie primarily in the areas of psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience. Current projects focus on the neural organization and temporal online dynamics of processes underlying language perception, particularly using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and other brain imaging techniques.
The first research program investigates interactions among syntactic, semantic, morphological and (overt or covert) prosodic information in listeners and readers. A related question concerns the similarities and differences in prosodic processing between speech and music.
The second research program addresses issues of bilingualism (e.g., code switching) and natural languages and a highly controlled artificial language (BROCANTO). In addition, the mismatch negativity (MMN) in ERPs is used to study phoneme discrimination in monolingual and bilingual speakers.
