Research Interests

My major areas of research examine the nature of language processing in both healthy and neurologically-involved populations based on the integration of detailed models of language processing within a neurobiological framework. The research is underpinned by a detailed understanding of the processes involved in the moment-by-moment integration of information during on-going language comprehension and by the investigation of the component processes involved in language production. The work involves the use of a number of 'on-line' or 'real-time' measures of processing (including reaction-time and ERP) to examine both the behavioural details and the brain-areas involved in language processing. The behavioural and neurobiological bases of language disorders are investigated in both non neurologically impaired people and people with acquired neurological disorders including people with subcortical aphasia, bilingual people with aphasia subsequent to stroke, people with Parkinson's disease, adults and children with language impairment following traumatic brain injury, people with schizophrenia and healthy people scoring highly on ratings of dimensions of schizotypy. My research involves collaborations with psychiatrists, neurologists, electrical engineers, psychologists, linguists, and computer scientists.
