Tae Twomey

Dr. Tae Twomey is a Research Fellow in Imaging Neuroscience at University College London (UCL). Their work focuses on the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and language processing, utilizing advanced brain imaging techniques to investigate how the brain processes language across different populations and writing systems.

Dr. Twomey's research interests span multiple areas within cognitive neuroscience:

• Neuroscience of language processing
• Brain imaging techniques applied to linguistic studies
• Comparative studies of language processing across different writing systems (including Japanese and Chinese)
• Effects of auditory experience on brain function
• Neural mechanisms underlying reading and visual word recognition

Dr. Twomey's publication record demonstrates expertise in examining language processing across diverse populations, including studies comparing deaf and hearing adults, investigations of bilingual processing in Japanese readers, and cross-linguistic studies of dyslexia. Their work frequently employs functional neuroimaging methods to uncover the neural basis of language and reading processes.

Dr. Twomey has received recognition for their research, with publications in high-impact journals such as NeuroImage, Journal of Neuroscience, and Brain.

As an educator, Dr. Twomey has served as:

• BSc Seminar Leader, Experimental Psychology, UCL (2020/21)
• Psychology Writing Lab instructor (2020/21)
• Module Convenor, MSc Introduction to the Brain and Imaging the Brain (2015/16 & 2017/18)
• Module Convenor, MSc Neuroscience of Language (2015/16)
