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
The Neuroscience of Speech
How does the brain make sense of speech as it unfolds?
Language as a Window into Brain Health
What can everyday speech reveal about aging and neurological conditions?
AI Through a Linguistic Lens
Using linguistic tools, what can we learn about AI's linguistic abilities?
