Overview
Our laboratory focuses on developmental cognitive neuroscience. We study cognitive processes such as auditory perception, language or reading and their neurological bases in the developing human brain. The majority of our studies involve functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) but we also employ experimental behavioral studies and structural brain measurement techniques.
Our main research areas we investigate right now include:
-the neural correlates of reading and reading development (e.g.; does learning to read change your brain?)
-the relationship between auditory processing disorders and reading impairments
-the neural correlates of auditory and language processing in developmental dyslexia and specific language impairments
-the influence of musical training on language and reading development
-the development and evaluation of remediation programs for language and reading impairments
-the development of auditory and music processing and its relation to language development in typical reader
