معرفی
Maria Mody, PhD, serves as Assistant Professor in Radiology at Harvard Medical School and Assistant in Neuroscience at Massachusetts General Hospital. She is a faculty member at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, leading the Developmental Language and Reading Research Laboratory (LRRL) in Charlestown, MA.
She earned her PhD from the City University of New York in 1993.
Dr. Mody's research investigates neural mechanisms of reading and language in children using EEG/MEG and fMRI. She focuses on cognitive processes (speech perception, phonological processing, attention) in typical development and disorders including dyslexia, SLI, autism, and ADHD. Her work aims to identify neural signatures for targeted interventions.
She mentors graduate students Dan Wehner, Cherif Sahyoun, Susan Mosher, Elena Zinchenko, and Kathleen Corriveau. Current projects examine speech sound processing, phonological deficits, and attention in reading disorders.
The LRRL operates within MGH's Martinos Center, utilizing advanced neuroimaging to study language and reading development across diverse populations.
