• Interdisciplinary collaboration with the Eleanor M. Saffran Center for Cognitive Neuroscience
• Lab develops open-source software (e.g., ConversationAlign on CRAN) and clinical resources for dementia and traumatic brain injury

Research interests include:

• Progressive language impairment in dementia
• Cognitive pupillometry for studying attention and fatigue
• Semantic distance modeling in natural language
• Neurocognitive mechanisms of aphasia and anomia
• Clinical interventions for vocabulary retention
• Neuromodulation techniques (e.g., tDCS) in language studies

The lab's publications demonstrate expertise in:

• Neurodegenerative disease research
• Psycholinguistic experimental design
• Computational modeling of language
• Biobehavioral assessment techniques
• Clinical translational studies
