CBR Seminar Series: Jonathan Peelle
CBR Seminar Series: Jonathan Peelle, March 23, 2023 Title: Cognitive Consequences of Acoustic Challenge During Spoken Communication Abstract: Everyday communication is full of acoustic challenges, including background noise, competing talkers, or assistive devices. How do listeners understand speech in the midst of this noise? Evidence from multiple sources is consistent with a shared resource framework […]
CBR Seminar Series: Neetu Nair
CBR Seminar Series: Neetu Nair, January 23, 2023 Title: Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Understand the Human Brain in Health and Disease Abstract: Ever since the first human nuclear magnetic resonance image was acquired by Dr. Raymond Damadian in 1977, the technology has helped us advance our understanding of the human brain. With a PhD […]
CBR Seminar Series: Tatiana Schnur
CBR Seminar Series: Tatiana Schnur, January 19, 2023 Title: Connected Speech Impairment and Recovery after Acute Stroke Abstract: Humans are uniquely able to retrieve and combine words into syntactic structure to produce connected speech. Previous identification of focal brain regions necessary for production focused primarily on associations with the content produced by speakers with chronic […]
CBR Seminar Series: Gesa Hartwigsen
CBR Seminar Series: Gesa Hartwigsen, December 5, 2022 Title: Flexible adaptation in neural networks for cognition- insights from neurostimulation and neuroimaging Abstract: The human brain is flexible. Neural networks adapt to changing cognitive demands by flexibly recruiting different regions and connections. In this talk, I will discuss how we can study functional network plasticity across […]

CBR Seminar Series: Matt Lambon- Ralph
CBR Seminar Series: Matt Lambon- Ralph, October 11, 2022 Title: The Neurocognitive Bases of Semantic Representation and its Disorders Abstract: This talk will provide a brief overview of our work on semantic cognition and its disorders. This longstanding research program actively draws together neuropsychological and neuroscience data in a convergent manner to understand semantic representation, […]
CBR Seminar Series: Matt Nelson
CBR Seminar Series: Matt Nelson, September 26, 2022 Title: Neurophysiological mechanisms of phrase structure building during language comprehension Abstract: I use human intracranial recordings and direct stimulation to study the nature of the building of phrase structure representations in the brain as a sentence unfolds. Results show a build-up of neural activity during phrases followed […]
