The Computational Neurolinguistics Lab

Hello in many different languages

The Computational Neurolinguistics Lab

Dr. Galit Agmon

Welcome to the Computational Neurolinguistics Lab, where we embrace a multidisciplinary approach to studying language. Led by Dr. Agmon, our lab combines machine learning algorithms with linguistic theory and cognitive neuroscience to explore the complexities of speech. Our research spans from understanding speech in healthy individuals to uncovering its changes in neurodegenerative diseases, advancing knowledge at the intersection of language, cognition, and neuroscience.

Our research focus

Neural Processing of Spontaneous Speech

How does our brain navigate through the challenge of "messiness" in speech?

LLMs for Speech Research

Large Language Models as a research tool

The Prosody-Syntax Interface

The musical colors of speech: Is it important for syntactic processing?

Speech in Healthy Aging vs. Neuropathology

How does aging affect speech processing?
