Biography
Research Program: My research program focuses on investigating the neural and cognitive mechanisms responsible for language processing, how these mechanisms are affected by brain tumours and stroke, how our genome helps us speak, and how language recovery can be facilitated by various treatments. Research Areas: Neurobiology of language and memory; Cognitive neuroscience; Neuroimaging; Psycholinguistics; Current and Past Grants:- A more sound approach to the neurobiology of language.
