As a computational psycho- and neurolinguist, I investigate language---as a cognitive process---in the mind and brain. In this endeavor, I make use of natural language processing technology such as large language models and dependency and constituency parsers. Furthermore, I am interested in understanding how language processing, in the mind and brain, is similar and different across languages.
Linguistics PhD student Donald Dunagan has been comparing brain activity in speakers of English and Chinese.
The Linguistics department is excited to announce that our Brainvision EEG machine is up and running! Last week, Dr. Dustin Chacón recorded the brain waves of our first brave subject, Ph.D. student Donnie Dunagan.
