The Language Neuroscience Laboratory has recently moved to the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Queensland. Several of our team remain in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, continuing to work on our NIH-supported longitudinal aphasia recovery project.
Research in the lab is focused on three related questions:
To address these questions, we study individuals with aphasia, as well as healthy participants with normal language, using a range of state-of-the-art functional and structural neuroimaging techniques. We combine our multimodal imaging approach with comprehensive language assessments designed to quantify deficits in different components of the language processing system, such as syntactic structure, word meanings, and the selection and assembly of speech sounds.
I'm excited to share that this is my first day in a new job at the University of Queensland. Thrilled to return to my home land and join fantastic new colleagues @UQHealth. I will dearly miss friends and colleagues at @VUMCHearSpeech.

I've released a new version of Adaptive Language Mapping (version 7.7). This new version has a better mechanism for reading key presses, button box presses, scanner triggers, etc., so if you use ALM and ever had problems with any of those, please download!https://t.co/ROBkXMWAKx

Delighted to share Language Neuroscience Podcast #22. My guest is Olivia Leow @oliviableow, who shares a fascinating first person account of her awake craniotomy for resection of a brain tumor surrounded by language areas. @ReidCThompson1 @VUMC_Neurosurg https://t.co/YmpB6DdZX3

Been such a joy to learn these past five years in the @VUHearSpeechPhD department. So grateful for my mentor @smwilsonau, my committee @M_de_R, @duffalab, and @cately00, and everyone in the Language Neuroscience Lab. Will miss Nashville, but excited for more learning in Chicago! https://t.co/B4oZQ3HMd6

Ever wondered what Noam Chomsky thinks about the neuroscience of language? Well, I asked him! Honored to host this living legend, founder of the field of generative linguistics, on the Language Neuroscience Podcast, Episode 21. Please RT to share widely.https://t.co/wt92ybS8Ai

Sneak peek of @SNLmtg 2023 in Marseille (Oct 24-26)! Venue Palais du Pharo looks gorgeous w incredible views of the old port. So excited to work on this meeting w the Board & local organizers Cheryl Frenck-Mestre & Xavier Alario. But #SNL2022 in Philly first of course! #SNL2023 pic.twitter.com/ZN6Hq9P8RV
