My lab studies the neural systems that support language processing in humans. We use brain imaging methods (primarily diffusion MRI) to identify and quantify the white matter pathways in the language system of neurotypicals and clinical populations. We use psycholinguistic methods to assess language processing, such as sensitivity to word structure, speech fluency, reading and spelling. By measuring the associations between neurobiological and cognitive measures we generate knowledge about the neural pathways underlying specific language processes in neurotypical and clinical populations.
