Bingjiang Lyu is Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Cambridge. His research interests lie in the cortical mechanisms and dynamics involved in language comprehension using EEG/MEG and fMRI. He is currently working on how the incremental processing of speech is affected by contextual information embedded in sentences. Lorraine Tyler is Professor the Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge. Her research combines cognitive models with multi-modal imaging to understand the neurobiological substrate for language functions. [more]

Giulio Degano is Postdoctoral Researcher in the Brain and Language Lab, University of Geneva. His research interests include the perception of naturalistic stimuli such as speech and music, and multisensory integration. Narly Golestani is Associate Professor at the University of Geneva and the University of Vienna. Her research focuses on the neural bases of auditory and language processing, using a range of neuroimaging techniques to study questions on language learning, multilingualism and individual differences.

Stephan Meylan is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Computational Psycholinguistics Lab in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT and a Postdoctoral Associate in the Bergelson Lab in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University. He studies the relationship of language processing and language development—with a focus on the emergence of combinatorial morphosyntax— using a combination of computational models, corpus studies, and in-lab experiments. Roger Levy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research focuses on theoretical and applied questions in the processing and acquisition of natural language, employing computational modeling, psycholinguistic experimentation, and analysis of large naturalistic language datasets.

Rie Asano is a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Musicology in Cologne, Germany. Her research focuses on syntax in language, music, and action, as well as the relationship between linguistic syntactic processing and musical rhythm, and computational evolutionary neuroscience. Cedric Boeckx is Professor at the Catalan Institute for Research & Advanced Studies, University of Barcelona. His current research focuses on the neurobiological foundations of the human language faculty, with special emphasis on evolutionary issues. Keywords: language evolution // emergence of language; speech processing; vocal learning [more]

Molly Flaherty is Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Davidson College. In her research, she seeks to better understand the developing human mind by closely examining the structure of language. Her work explores the emergence of linguistic structure in one of the youngest languages known to science: Nicaraguan Sign Language (NSL). Susan Goldin-Meadow is Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago. Her main research interests include language development and creation, and the role of gesture in communicating, thinking, and learning. [more]

Songhee Kim is postdoctoral researcher at the Medical College of Wisconsin, with neurolinguistics and semantics as main areas of study. Her dissertation focused on the neural representation of event concept composition. Liina Pylkkänen is Professor of Linguistics and Psychology and Head of the Neurolinguistics Lab at New York University. Her research focus on the characterization of the brain mechanisms responsible for the semantic combinatorics of language and how they are intimately intertwined with computations building complex syntactic structures.

Jixing Li is postdoctoral researcher in the Neuroscience of Language Lab (NeLLab) at NYU Abu Dhabi. Her research applies computational models to understand how the human brain represents and computes semantic and syntactic information during language comprehension. John Hale is Professor at the Linguistics Department, University of Georgia. His work centres on language comprehension using analysis tools from computational linguistics and corpus methods. [more]
