Janice Chen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, affiliated with the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences. Her research focuses on understanding how real-world memories are constructed and retrieved, using advanced neuroimaging and behavioral methods. Her work emphasizes the interplay between sensory input and mnemonic systems across multiple timescales, particularly during naturalistic experiences like movie viewing and narrative recall. Chen's education includes a PhD in Psychological & Brain Sciences. She leads a lab investigating topics such as neural coding of social interactions, temporal dynamics of memory, and cross-modal processing in blind individuals. Her lab employs fMRI, EEG, and behavioral experiments to map brain activity patterns during perception and recall. Current projects explore how causal structures in narratives shape memory organization, and the role of gaze behavior in linking visual perception to memory retrieval. Key contributions include developing datasets like 'Sherlock' and 'Film Festival,' widely used in cognitive neuroscience research. Her team collaborates on analyzing shared neural responses across individuals during narrative comprehension and transmission. She advises a diverse group of postdoctoral researchers and graduate students in cognitive and computational neuroscience. Chen's lab is not currently recruiting but maintains active research collaborations. Findings emphasize the brain's shared representational structures during memory recall, suggesting systematic neural reorganization from perception to memory storage.

Dr. Alex Clarke is a Sir Henry Dale Fellow and Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Speech, Language, and the Brain (CSLB) within the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge. His research investigates neural mechanisms of perception, semantic memory, and episodic memory using multimodal neuroimaging techniques including MEG, EEG, and fMRI. Clarke's work centers on how the brain dynamically transforms visual inputs into semantic representations and how neural oscillations support memory retrieval. He examines the influence of real-world context on object recognition, top-down processing in perception, and the spatiotemporal dynamics of language comprehension. His research frequently bridges laboratory findings with naturalistic environments through mobile EEG and mixed reality paradigms. Recent publications reveal strong emphasis on contextual modulation of neural activity, with particular focus on low-frequency oscillations during memory tasks and semantic processing in the anterior temporal lobe. His methodological innovations in real-world neuroscience demonstrate consistent exploration of how prior scene context shapes object recognition and memory formation. Scientific awards include: Sir Henry Dale Fellowship (Royal Society/Wellcome Trust) Funded by his prestigious fellowship, Clarke leads an independent research program examining spatiotemporal neural dynamics. While no current advisees are listed, his work involves collaboration with CSLB researchers on projects spanning semantic memory, perception, and memory retrieval mechanisms. Clarke is a core member of the Centre for Speech, Language, and the Brain (CSLB), a multidisciplinary hub integrating psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics to study communication and cognition.

Tessa Warren holds a secondary faculty appointment in the Department of Communication Science and Disorders at the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Pittsburgh. Her research focuses on language comprehension mechanisms, particularly examining how linguistic knowledge interacts with world knowledge during real-time sentence processing across different populations including healthy adults, older adults, and individuals with language disorders. Dr. Warren's research program investigates predictive processing in language comprehension, examining what types of information people anticipate during reading and listening. Her work spans theoretical linguistics, cognitive science, and clinical applications for language disorders. A significant portion of her research addresses aphasia, investigating how individuals with language impairments process sentences, retrieve verbs, and compensate using conceptual knowledge. She also studies how language processing changes with healthy aging, demonstrating how older adults increasingly rely on world knowledge to support comprehension as linguistic processing abilities decline. Analysis of Dr. Warren's recent publications (2019-2025) reveals three major research threads: (1) the interaction between linguistic and world knowledge during comprehension, (2) predictive mechanisms in sentence processing, and (3) cognitive adaptations to language impairments in aphasia. Her methodological approach frequently employs eye-tracking during reading to measure real-time processing, computational modeling to formalize theoretical accounts, and neuropsychological assessment techniques with clinical populations. Her scientific contributions include: Elucidating how world knowledge and linguistic structure interact during real-time language processing Documenting age-related changes in language comprehension strategies Developing theoretical accounts of cognitive adaptation in language disorders Investigating the neural correlates of language processing deficits Exploring negation processing and polarity items in sentence comprehension Advancing understanding of verb-argument structure processing Dr. Warren's work bridges theoretical linguistics with clinical applications, demonstrating how insights from cognitive science can inform rehabilitation approaches for language disorders. Her secondary appointment in Communication Science and Disorders positions her research to have direct relevance to clinical practice while maintaining strong theoretical foundations in linguistic and cognitive science.
