Blair Armstrong is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto Scarborough (undergraduate appointment) and the University of Toronto (graduate appointment), affiliated with the Department of Psychology. He is also an Affiliated Researcher at the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain, and Language (BCBL). Holding a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University, his research focuses on cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying word comprehension, semantic memory, and lexical processing. His work integrates computational modeling, electrophysiological techniques, and behavioral experiments to explore ambiguity resolution, cross-linguistic differences, and decision systems.
Education: PhD in Cognitive Science, Carnegie Mellon University.
Research Interests: Cognitive and neural representations of word comprehension, semantic memory dynamics, ambiguity resolution, and computational methodologies for experimental design. He develops tools like Chronset for speech onset detection and SOS for optimizing stimuli, contributing to the broader field of psycholinguistics and cognitive neuroscience.
Service and Grants: He has served on program committees for conferences such as the Cognitive Science Society and the Implicit Learning Seminar. He reviews grants for NSERC, SSHRC, ERC, and others. His editorial work includes guest editing a theme issue on statistical learning for Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates with BCBL researchers and contributes to interdisciplinary projects on statistical learning and language processing.
