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?
