Christensen, Thomas: The neural mechanisms involved in perceiving and interpreting spoken language provide a rich source of research questions that are central to understanding human communication. My research involves the use of state-of-the-art brain-mapping methods like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to study the neuroanatomical and functional organization of brain networks involved in auditory language processing. Research projects that students participate in involve the cognitive modulation of primary language processing by attention and memory networks, effects of attention type and cognitive load on language perception, and the roles of cortical-subcortical interactions in serving these cognitive processes. Students have opportunities to participate in experimental design, stimulus creation, data acquisition and statistical analysis of both behavioral and neurobiological data. Current experiments are a prelude to studying clinical populations with brain disorders that may disrupt language, verbal memory, attention, or any combination of these skills.
