  Melissa Kibbe

  Associate Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  Prof. Kibbe’s research focuses on how infants, children, and adults represent information about objects (e.g. perceptual features, animacy, group statistics, numerosity, verbal labels).  Prof. Kibbe’s lab also looks at the kinds of computations we can do with these representations, the ways in which we use these representations to guide behavior, and how cognitive systems (such […]

  Swathi Kiran

  Professor, Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences

  The primary goal of Prof. Kiran's lab is to understand language processing and communication following a brain damage. Research in the lab makes use of Neuroimaging, neurolinguistic, psycholinguistic and neurobehavioral tools in investigating pertinent questions related to Aphasia. Some particular scholarly and practice interest of the lab are bilingual aphasia, aphasia rehabilitation, functional neuroimaging, language […]

  Nancy Kopell

  Professor, Mathematics & Statistics

  For the last two decades, Prof. Kopell has worked on mathematical problems in neuroscience. Her current interests parallel the themes of the Cognitive Rhythms Collaborative: how does the brain produce its dynamics (physiological mechanisms), how do brain rhythms take part in cognition (sensory processing, attention, memory, motor control), and how can pathologies of brain dynamics […]

  Arthur Sangil Lee

  Assistant Professor, Cognitive Neuroscience

  Dr. Arthur Lee’s research interests include the decoding of mental states through neural patterns, neural predictions of behaviors, and subjective value and utility computation. To investigate these research questions, he uses a variety of functional neuroimaging methods, including leveraging public datasets and creating whole-brain predictors of cognitive functions.

  Jen-Wei Lin

  Associate Professor, Biology

  My main research focus is on the biophysical events underlying transmitter release. Neurotransmitter secretion involves ion channel gating, diffusion and buffering of calcium ions, vesicular fusion as well as the mobilization and recycling of, synaptic vesicles. We use electrophysiological and imaging techniques to monitor processes underlying synaptic transmission at a high time resolution. Using the […]

  Sam Ling

  Associate Professor, Psychological & Brain Sciences

  The glut of information available for the brain to process at any given moment necessitates an efficient attentional system that can “pick and choose” what relevant information receives prioritized processing. Interestingly, a growing body of work suggests that one powerful way that attention separates the wheat from the chaff is by altering some of the […]

  Jennifer Luebke

  Professor, Anatomy & Neurobiology

  Prof. Luebke maintains a laboratory in which whole-cell patch-clamp and intracellular filling techniques are used to examine the electrophysiological and morphological properties of neurons in in vitro slices of monkey and transgenic mouse neocortex. Research is focused on action potential firing patterns (and underlying ionic currents), glutamatergic and GABAergic synaptic response properties and detailed dendritic […]

  Heng-Ye Man

  Professor of Biology

  Our research interests are focused on brain development, especially neuronal migration, morphogenesis, synapse formation, glutamate receptors and synaptic plasticity. We aim to understand the cellular and molecular processes implicated in neurodegenerative diseases and developmental disorders including autism, Angelman syndrome, intellectual disability and Alzheimer’s disease. We use diverse techniques including biochemistry, immunofluorescent staining, live imaging, virus […]
