Words don’t just mean things-they do things to the brain. Join us on January 28th for this Lab Showcase.
L-Neuro Lab (PI Dr. Olessia Jouravlev) studies how the brain transforms sounds and symbols into meaning, and why this transformation differs across people and languages.
Using behavioural experiments together with neuroimaging methods such as EEG/ERP and NIRS, we examine language as a living neural process-shaped by experience, emotion, social context, and speakers’ trait profiles. Our work spans bilingual and monolingual speakers, typical and atypical language systems, and everyday as well as emotionally charged language, with the goal of understanding why the same words can resonate so differently across minds.
